Recycling
Grounds
Don’t know what to do with your leftover grounds? Rather than throwing them away, try recycling them in one of the following ways:
- Use coffee grounds as plant food. Dilute your leftover coffee grounds to make your very own homemade plant food. To make, mix one-part leftover coffee grounds with four-parts cool water. Be sure to water your plants at least once every second week.
- Touch up furniture and other wood scratches with grounds and a cotton swab. It’s an easy, inexpensive way to restore your furnishings.
- Place coffee grounds on ashes before cleaning out the fireplace to help reduce the spread of dust.
- Use coffee grounds to dye clothing or paper.
Containers
Don’t forget that our Folgers® AromaSeal® canisters and lids are recyclable. We use the same materials found in most laundry detergent bottles and juice containers.
