Canada Bay Club is proud to announce a new partnership with Rotary Concord to support their innovative Coffee Grounds Project! This exciting initiative aims to transform used coffee grounds into valuable resources, promoting sustainability and environmental consciousness within our community.

A Commitment to Green Practices

Canada Bay Club has always been committed to responsible practices. We understand the impact our daily operations can have on the environment, and we’re constantly seeking ways to minimize our footprint. Partnering with Rotary Concord’s Coffee Grounds Project aligns perfectly with our sustainability goals.

Giving Used Grounds a Second Life

Every cup of coffee we serve generates used coffee grounds. Traditionally, these grounds end up in landfills, where they decompose slowly and release methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The Rotary Concord Coffee Grounds Project offers a brilliant solution.

Benefits Beyond the Grounds

The Canada Bay Club and Rotary Concord Coffee Grounds Project offers a multitude of benefits:

  • Reduced Landfill Waste: Diverting coffee grounds from landfills lessens our environmental impact.
  • Sustainable Gardening: Nutrient-rich compost promotes healthy plant growth without harmful chemicals.
  • Community Collaboration: This project fosters collaboration between local businesses and organizations for a greener future.

Supporting a Sustainable Future

Canada Bay Club is thrilled to be a part of this impactful initiative. We believe that every small step towards sustainability makes a difference. By working together with Rotary Concord, we can create a more sustainable future for our community and the environment.

Why did Rotary Concord take on this project?

To reduce the amount of organic material going to land fill sites, thereby reducing the amount of methane generated every day. Rotary Concord is giving the product away at their Farmers Markets. The use of coffee grounds which are pure organic material, adds organic material to the soils

How can you use coffee grounds?

Fertilise your Garden. Most soil does not contain the essential nutrients needed for optimal plant growth. 

  • Compost it for Later.
  • Repel Insects and Pests (mosquitos, rats & mice)
  • Remove Fleas from Your Pets.
  • Neutralize Odours. 
  • Use It as a Natural Cleaning Scrub. 
  • Scour your Pots and Pans.
  • Exfoliate your Skin.
  • Use as a natural dye
  • Clean your fireplace
  • Tenderise meat
  • Repair scratched furniture
  • Grow mushrooms
