Best Answer

Yes, they are excellent for adding to your compost, as well as grass clippings, shredded newsprint and vegetable waste.

Coffee grounds are high in nitrogen but often can be acidic. Composting well before adding to the garden may be better, but small amounts can be added directly to the garden if needed. The coffee filters also decompose so you don't have to worry about scraping off the grounds.

Many restaurants and coffee houses often throw away large amounts of coffee grounds. These places will often be willing to donate used coffee grounds for composting.

Why do you make compost?

For a couple of very good reasons ! It helps the environment. Why toss away ( to the dump ) produce that is recyclable ? If you compost all vegetable matter, it will break down into nutrient rich soil, and can be turned back into your garden, flower beds or even your lawn. Every bit of the vegetable matter you compost, will break back down into a natural fertilizer, and it will replace lost soil. It is not a good idea to put meats in your composter. I also add dryer lint to my compost. Coffee filters are ok too as well as egg shells.
