Once they have outlived their usefulness in the pitcher, I take the time to deconstruct the filter and dump the material inside in my garden pots. If you are just going to throw them out anyway, why not take advantage of the value as an amendment, even if the activated charcoal isn’t as “active” as it once was when new?

It also was a surprise to discover that my cut flowers got a great benefit from the vase having some of the stuff at the bottom. Not only did it allow for less sliding around in the arrangement stage, which was my primary reason for adding it in the first place, it had a surprising effect of keeping the water crystal clear and the flower fresh a great deal longer than they otherwise would last. I will try it again to see if I can repeat that result, and if so, it will become a default add to my vases of tulips every spring…
