There are actually many ways you can recycle and reuse your old coffee grinds to help preserve the environment and maintain your health. And for other ways to green your caffeine, check out the wiki all about having an eco-cup o' joe or maybe even look into drinking organic coffee!

You’d be surprised at just how many different methods have worked for people:

1) Touch up furniture and other wood scratches with grounds and a Q-tip.
2) Sprinkle around areas where pesky insects, slugs and snails dwell to drive them away.
3) Mix with soil as a natural fertilizer for plants.
4) Dye clothing or paper.
5) Fill old nylons and hang in your closet or fridge to repel odors.
6) Use to fill old pin cushions.
7) Scrub away grease and grime from pots and pans.
8) Throw on ashes before cleaning out the fireplace to reduce dust from spreading.
9) Feed to worms to help with your garden.
10) Rub on your hands to eliminate odors.
11) Mix ¼ grinds with one egg white and massage onto face like a mud pack.
