If you garden, start a compost heap in your yard, or get a compost
container. Keep a plastic bowl handy in the kitchen for vegetable trimmings
and tea leaves and coffee grounds, and dump the bowl on to the compost heap
nightly. Or, get a worm box and let them turn the vegetable waste
(including tea leaves) into wonderful organic fertilizer. Use the compost
in your herb/vegetable garden and the whole thing comes full circle.

Or, line your garbage pail with a plastic grocery bag and dump the wet tea
leaves right in.
