The transport and human hours costs are minimal because it only requires adjustments to the already present stock delivery logistics. I know that Mcdonalds already collects used grounds, grease and cardboard for re-use/recycling and it all just gets picked up during routine stock deliveries.
Smaller cafes and such may struggle to implement similar procedures, but large chains such as starbucks should have no problems.
