Coffee grounds instead of sand – Vilnius tests novel way to tackle icy streets 360 Snow in Vilnius. / E. Blaževič/LRT Vilnius is testing a new way to treat icy sidewalks, sprinkling them with coffee grounds instead of sand or salts. Used coffee, donated by several cafes in the Lithuanian capital, is being used this week to make sidewalks less slippery on Gedimino Avenue, Totorių and Vokiečių Streets. “It s a pilot project that we will try this week and we ll see if it s working,” according to Povilas Poderskis, the chief of administration at Vilnius Municipality. With snowfall and below-zero temperatures continuing for weeks, sidewalks across the country are covered in ice and pressed snow, making them extremely slippery if untreated.
