After enough people sue for maggots and other friendlies making them sick, the process will be deemed a public health crisis.  Needing a huge budget to overcome.

This comment made me spit the water out of my mouth....hAHAHAHAHAHHHAA

 
So I was talking to a lady at work about this, she and her husband have been doing this for about a year.

They take a compostable bag and fill up the old food and keep it in the freezer till its time to go out to the trash.

It doesn't smell since its frozen.

I'm thinking of going to Staples and getting a 500 count of brown lunch bags, $22, and put the food in that and keep in the garage freezer till trash night???

We don't really have a lot in that freezer anyways, just beer and drinks in the fridge part.

That might work...if that bag gets filled, then it gets thrown in the garbage.

If the line is lined you should be GTG.

Why would yo worry about food in the toilet?  It ends up there anyway...

Just thinking chunks of food that are more jagged and bulky than "poop" getting stuffed into the toilet and getting flushed..

:lmao:

 
this is our freezer on a good day......................

Garbage scraps in my freezer are a hard NO for me.

But I get the idea behind it.

 
We have more flies around our house then ever. I wonder if this is part of the reason.

This is a state thing. We got the notice down here a while back. After I saw the trash truck pick up and dump my grey trash bin then move 3 feet forward and grab the blue recycle bin and dump it on top of the trash he just put in the truck, I've opted to not follow their protocol.

I saw my trash guy do the same thing a few years ago. I now expend zero effort on recycling. It's all trash.

If all this waste is actually being sorted, sifted, separated, recycled and composted, I would be amazed and shocked.  I assume it ALL goes to landfill.  

Until there's a real profit for the private sector, this just a tax grab and union kickback.

This is all going into the "composting pile".  There is no doubt about that.  Here they turn a bunch of it into compost and mulch (which anyone in the city can get for free).  

Your talking about the "recycling" which is nothing but a boondoggle.   Sure they "try" but it's a joke now days....

Here in Knox, 90% of folks go to the local “dump” where the majority deposits items that are separated as plastics, paper, aluminum, steel, puters, appliances, halogen bulbs, bulk metal/steel, bulk construction, oils, etc.  There are staff that watch over.  If you fvck around, you’ll find out.

ill get some pics next time.

We have been doing this since the state made it a law back in January.  My greens container is pretty much stinks the most now.  We hardly have any clipping, so now it is food and dog chit.  Flys, flys and flys.  Perfect example of our government putting requirements with zero common sense.

This is annoying and all, but weren't you guys throwing this same trash in the grey bin before?  On a hot day, my trash always smells like hot garbage, always will.  Whether the bin is green or grey doesn't really change how it smells...
