Poop boards with coffee grounds

Since it's toxic, why do they make a bedding with it in it? What benefits does it impart? Fragrance?

Yeah, it smells nice like coffee! It’s also compostable, and you can scoop clean it like you can with sand. Plus up-cycling, especially if you can get it bulk from a cafe.

Is pdz compostable

As far as I know, yes it is. Both coffee grounds and sweet PDZ are very good for composting.

I guess another benefit for the coffee grounds is you can request them from a cafe and get it for free!

The *Grounds* brand coffee ground bedding does not have caffeine in it. It's nearly impossible to find these days (I stockpiled last winter), but I've been using it for almost a year without issue. The benefit is the odor control, the sift-ability, and that it is completely dust-free.

Unfortunately, it seems like the company is going under because they only use grounds from a single coffee company in Indiana and supply apparently isn't keeping up with demand. Huge bummer.

Thank you. My SIL has mentioned the brand but I couldn't remember the name. DwcF coffee grounds didn't occur to me at all. I guess I will just stick to the pdz and all purpose sand mix. Thank you sir the information.
