Disposal of wet coffee grouts

How do you dispose of your wet coffee grouts? I usually flush them down the sink, but every now and again it gets blocked up, so I'd really like to find an alternative way.

Lakeland used to do a gizmo that was a netting bag on a frame that attached to your sink tap and you could empty the grouts into that and then chuck in the bin when dry - however, there's now no sign of it on their website, so I'm guessing it wasn't that efficient.

Any suggestions appreciated.......

Thanks

.......................often I just tip them onto kitchen roll and bin them, sometimes on the compost heap, often down the loo

Mine are composted. I think that people use them round plants as well as they deter slugs apparently.

Nope! I tried that and the slugs proceeded to happily munch up my sunflower seedlings

Put ours in our food recycling, an excellent scheme you can put everything in it, including things like cooked food and bones that couldn't go on a compost heap, and it's collected weekly.
