One persons trash is another’s treasure. We probably collect 3 buckets/week from one of our locals.

Nice. Find local breweries and ask for their used materials as well. Making soil is a constant on going process. Enjoy the journey.

Not the weird guy at all! I love carrying out massive bags of coffee grounds! And the employees are always very happy to give them away

Our coffee grounds? Like out the garbage?!? Congrats man, now the challenge is finding enough browns to keep up

So what will you do with all those?
I collect mine for a week and then throw it in my grass. But I don’t 100% know if it does anything positive for my soil.

I wish the Starbucks in my area still did the Grounds For Gardens program.
I haven’t mustered the courage to ask a small time place yet.

I get 4 or so 5 gallon bucket loads a week from my local starbucks. Has done wonders for working my pule. Glad to see I have some company with the grounds.

as an ex cafe worker, not an issue and not weird at all. youre helping them remove waste and its usually pretty easy for them to put it aside for you.

Starbucks pre bags them for you.

I asked the corner gas station and they told me no, doing anything but immediately throwing them away is a health dept issue. Totally discouraged me from ever asking any other place
