Cuz I drink so much coffee it can’t go in the trash. I use a grocery bag to collect it per cup. When it starts to be too full to twist the top of the bag airtight shut, I dump it in the woods
I have a pretty sweet tower of empty Gevalia canisters going SKY-HIGH
Two canisters have coffee in them, two others have compost I made in them
So, I don’t have trash anymore to take out, I hope some critters are getting wild for the night on all my piles of coffee grounds
I feel horribly guilty to support so much coffee production………

the composting was just for fun because I had so many cans
can't go to the recycling place when its cold out, I will freeze to death
I currently have a home full of sorted out various recyclable materials which will soon go in the truck bed and if I weren't so against using plastic I would say it would likely end up not recycled anyway
I just do it so people see me doing it and actually think about it for once
when I worked at a biz and ran the fax machine I also made coffee and we would fill an entire utility closet with metal tins of coffee in a year. I had to stomp on the metal part and crush them down for the recycling truck because it was just too much volume otherwise.
i'm surprised you're able to stick to one brand like that. Must be a good price or good coffee We only have the gay paper ones now , they recently switched. I still throw them in the garbage though because recycling is for communists

So what does it all mean? Before you start throwing coffee grounds around the garden, have a read of an earlier post where we discuss plants tolerance according to their pH. If by chance you have a plant with certain pH needs that falls way outside the range that coffee grounds provide, then it would be best not to use them. However, if you were to ask what outside plant benefits from coffee grinds? The answer would be – most of them.
What these tests showed is that coffee grounds pH levels can be altered depending on the conditions in which they are left to decompose. The closer they are into soil, the quicker they move to pH neutral, which is exactly the advice I was given when starting to use coffee grounds for composting.
seems like most people just compost them for a few weeks or months and then use as is with the paper enhancement and everything. I would be too paranoid to do that and constantly PH test every scoop I throw on.
Grow some red cabbage and fertilize it with coffee and then use the red cabbage to PH test the coffee THE CIRCLE OF LIFE
it is immensely comforting to know that other people struggle with a shameful accumulation of trash and feel the need to dispose of said trash innawoods, under dead of night

well I only throw out disposable shit that the dogs would never be interested in.
I certainly never throw plastic anything out there. I'll actually go and pick up every tiny piece I can find each year, but its usually used shotgun shells, or some ancient shit that's been recently unearthed somehow.
I fuckin hate plastic everything.
