Coffee grounds recycling

Coffee grounds need to be recycled separately to ensure they can be properly processed into bio products. Mixing them with other organic waste can disrupt this process.

Yes, you can leave coffee filters in your coffee grounds recycling, as they will compost with your coffee grounds.

We ask that customers don’t use bio bags, as they are classed as a form of waste contamination and will reduce the quality of your coffee grounds recycling.

Keep your coffee grounds in our 40L food waste caddy until collection. We also offer 120L bins (marked with an orange lid) to keep in your waste store.

We can collect your coffee grounds on an ad hoc basis. Simply store them in your 40L food waste caddy until full, then contact our Helpdesk to book your collection.

Your coffee grounds are recycled into sustainable bio-products, such as biofuels. This reduces waste and carbon emissions, and gives these nutrient-rich grounds a second life.
