Not only can you compost it but, if there is a local micro-brewery you may be able to sell it to them or the people there. Small quantities of coffee can be used in some beers.

as others say it is a compostable & good soil conditioner
It also makes a very good slug deterent as caffine is poisunous to them.
So if you have a local smallholder supplying you fresh salads then they can take back your old grounds, and probably other compostable waste too.
