Grinder question: Static electricity

I assume all (most ?) burr type grinders generate static electricity that
causes the ground coffee to cling to anything it comes in contact with,
especially the flimsy platic hopper into which the ground coffee falls after
grinding.

Are there any tricks to defeating the static electricity?

I just ground 16 ounces of coffee for a 30 cup brewer and I spent most of my
time chasing electrically-charged coffee grounds around the countertop.
Grinder is a Breville Conical Burr Grinder BCG450XL.

Thanks.
