Coffee Grounds Composting Now Available From Fidalgo Bay Coffee!
Announcing a free value-added service for our clients
Many areas do not offer composting. We see this as a problem and as a result we have developed a solution. We have started a coffee grounds composting program. Our route driver will collect the grounds on his or her route truck and bring them back to our warehouse for local composting. After we get some volume, we will create a coffee-only composting facility onsite and sell the product. Here are the basic points
1. We will gather only coffee grounds (paper filters ok) from customers on our delivery routes from Seattle to Bellingham.
2. We will use gray 30 gallon tubs on our truck
3. We will collect weekly using bio-compostable can liners
4. We must not collect from a customer if there is trash in the compost. It is up to the customer to sort.
5. We will supply the liners to the customer at no charge, they need to supply their container at their site.
SUSTAINABILITY is just a bay away
Providing a spent coffee grounds pick service is wonderful. Our recycling committee is tasked to try and find a local service such and this to pick up spend grounds from our airports, but no luck so far. SEATAC & PDX have made great strides in the coffee grounds recycling. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start for to find this service on the East Coast, particularly in the state of Virginia?
