Starbucks salutes the environment by offering complimentary used coffee grounds year-round for gardens and compost bins. What begins as a great cup of coffee can be a nutritious treat for the garden.
In 1997, the grounds for your garden initiative began at a grass roots level by Starbucks store partners in North America. The partners saw a need in their communities and identified an innovative solution that leverages Starbucks core business, which is coffee. This programme, which is still in use today, involves packaging coffee grounds i.e. brewed beans in reused whole bean coffee bags, sealing them with a Starbucks coffee grounds sticker and distributing them to customers and communities for use in gardens and compost piles.
When added to compost, coffee grounds will help accelerate the composting process. In addition, coffee grounds can be applied as light mulch to fast growing vegetables and if mixed with brown leaves and grass clippings or lime it will help balance the pH of soil.
Used coffee grounds are complimentary upon request at selected Starbucks retail locations and are available year-round as they are generated. So come and pick up your free coffee grounds today from the nearest Starbucks store to use in your garden throughout the year. As much as you love coffee, your flowers will too.
