Trish Smith over at The Daily Green posted about 12 ways to recycle used coffee grounds. Instead of throwing them out, try the following:

  • Touch up furniture and other wood scratches with grounds and a Q-tip
  • Sprinkle around areas where pesky insects, slugs and snails dwell to drive them away
  • Mix with soil as a natural fertilizer for plants
  • Dye clothing or paper
  • Rub into your dog as an organic flea dip
  • Fill old nylons and hang in your closet or fridge to repel odors
  • Use to fill old pin cushions
  • Scrub away grease and grime from pots and pans
  • Throw on ashes before cleaning out the fireplace to reduce dust from spreading
  • Feed to worms to help with your garden
  • Rub on your hands to eliminate odors
  • Mix 1/4-cup grounds with one egg white and massage onto face like a mud pack
