French Press Coffee Maker cleaning

AAC

I got one French Press coffee maker as Christmas gift.  
I've never used such kind of coffee maker before.  The coffee brewed from French Press coffee maker taste better.
However, I have no idea on how to dump the used coffee grinds after enjoying coffee in office.  When using regular drip coffee maker, I dumped the coffee residue along with the paper filter to garbage bin.   The coffee residue at the bottom of French Press coffee maker is difficult to pour out unless rinse with water.  I'm not sure if it is OK to pour the water and coffee residue to sink or toilet.  

Any LYK using French Press coffee maker ?  any cleaning idea ?

Thanks.

I usually dump it down the sink at home. Cos I have a garbarator in my kitchen sink.
I don't use a french press at work cos there is no garbarator and I don't want to clot the tiny kitchen sink there... And there is no easy way to clean if not rinse it down the sink...
I guess dumping it down the toilet (at home) is another option...

U should be able to take it apart. (unbolt)

However, they are pain in the butt to clean .. and after a while, it will fit as well, and leak .... (coffee powder)
