In this video I'm going to show you how to throw away used coffee grounds from a coffee keurig k-cup coffee maker. For clean and odor-free disposal of coffee grounds, here are some alternatives:
1. Reusable Containers with Lids
How: Keep a small, sealable container (like a glass jar with a lid) by your coffee area. Deposit the grounds into the jar, then transfer them to compost or garbage once full. Rinsing the jar regularly will keep it clean and odor-free.
2. Biodegradable Bags or Compostable Liners
How: Use compostable or biodegradable bags to collect coffee grounds. They’ll keep the grounds contained without adding plastic waste. Once full, you can dispose of the bag directly into compost or green waste bins if allowed.
3. Drying Before Disposal
How: Spread used coffee grounds on a paper towel or old newspaper to dry them. Once dry, they’re much less likely to develop an odor and can be stored in a small paper bag or container until disposal.
4. Coffee Puck Pressing (If Using Espresso Grounds)
How: Espresso makers often leave grounds in compact "pucks" that can be easily knocked out and disposed of without spilling. These pucks dry quickly and produce less mess, making them easy to collect in a compost bin or container.
5. Dedicated Compost Bin for Coffee Grounds
How: If you’re open to composting, you could keep a small, dedicated compost bin or bucket with a charcoal filter. These bins are designed to control odors, and coffee grounds are easy to scoop or rinse out with little mess.
Each of these options keeps disposal mess-free and controls odors effectively without adding plastic waste!
