Throwing out coffee grinds is bad for the environment. What can I do with them? I know someone who said that throwing out coffee grinds is bad for the environment, and they also said you can use them as soil. I don%26#039;t plant much; I don%26#039;t have that kind of green thumb. I have no clue what I can do with them. I don%26#039;t want to throw them out; as I said, it%26#039;s bad for the environment. What can I do with the coffee grinds if I don%26#039;t want to plant them?

and here it gives you videos ;)

I%26#039;ve always put my coffee ground on and around my plants. The make great composting material and the acid is good for the evergreens.

I compost mine and on occasion I put them around my Gardenias to increase the acidity of the soil for them.

Coffee grounds can be composted.

U are reading the wrong info. It would be better to recycle it at the metal recyclers. Copper is quite high now.
