Sending ground coffee to landfill is a serious problem - when organic matter breaks down in landfill it produces methane, a greenhouse gas more than 28 times as harmful as carbon dioxide; it also wastes the myriad useful nutrients that ground coffee contains.
Reground rescues coffee waste and delivers it free of charge to community gardens and local gardeners, where the juicy nutrients go back into the soil, contributing to soil health and ecological resilience while supporting local gardeners to grow healthy food.
The Problem with Coffee Ground in Landfills
Sending coffee grounds to landfills creates serious environmental issues. When organic waste like grounded coffee decomposes in these conditions, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Beyond that, landfill disposal squanders the rich nutrients found in coffee granules, which could otherwise nourish soil and support growth. Reground steps in to rescue this waste, delivering it free to community gardens and local gardeners. These coffee grounds replenish soil with vital nutrients, boosting ecological resilience and helping grow fresh, healthy food.

Creative Uses for Coffee Grounds
What happens to the coffee grounds?
Once collected, coffee grounds are delivered free to community gardens and home gardeners in full van loads. Rich in nutrients, grounded coffee is a fantastic addition to compost piles and worm farms. Beyond traditional uses, we’re seeing innovative applications emerge—like growing mushrooms or even creating building materials. The possibilities for coffee granules are endless!

Keeping Coffee Out of Landfills
Why Don’t We Want Coffee Granules in Landfill?
Imagine this: a cafe using 20 kg of beans weekly sends 2 tonnes of coffee ground waste to landfill annually. That waste generates nearly 4 tonnes of greenhouse gases. By partnering with Reground, you prevent this cycle, contributing to circular solutions that benefit the environment and community alike. Keeping coffee grounds out of landfills isn’t just smart—it’s essential.

Why is there a fee?
