Remember kids: billionaires are biodegradable
After they are properly digested and shat into the appropriate stage compost heap.
Bones can be worn as trophies.
If it was a three panel comic the second one would be a truck with a recycling logo getting the contents of the green bin and the third panel the same truck doing the same with the black bin too.
Most garbage trucks have seperated compartments. It may look like it all went to the same place but they do actually use the green bin waste to make compost.
And then the truck goes to the landfill and empty both compartments.
They can dump both compartments individually. Some places may be faking it but most places process it into compost.
Most recycling does not get recycled.
Also pick up that can
Funny.
My city just 2 weeks ago began the blue/green bin program with garbage collected only every 2 weeks.
The level of stupidity and fuckery knows no bounds.
Also, I ain’t giving them my compost That’s for my garden.
The every 2 weeks thing is to encourage green bin usage as food waste tends to be the smelliest garbage most people produce. By picking up organics weekly and garbage every 2 weeks, it encourages people to use the green bin to reduce smells in their homes from rotting garbage even if they don’t actually care about composting.
Food waste is relatively heavy so the city is probably happy they don’t have to haul yours away when you have your own compost.
It just seems like an aweful lot of expected food/organic waste.
I also live in / manage a house with university students.
Once every 2 weeks for garbage is a mess already.
I already have them all tossing every organic scrap into one of my heaps.
The amount of bottled water these people consume is insane.
I understand the intent. And I’ve been way ahead of the curve for years.
But unless inorganic and non recyclable waste is cut at the source, it won’t be reduced.
I mean, I just bought some breakfast sausages a while back and Wtf they were individually wrapped in plastic inside plastic inside plastic.
I toss maybe a kitchen size bag of trash per week. I don’t know that I can reduce any more unless I eat the plastic. Well, I guess technically I already am…
Municipal compost is great! I love that my trash doesn’t smell anymore, since it’s almost entirely inert. Solved our fruit fly problem, too.
Yup. And we get unlimited free compost.
I would guess it makes landfills a lot nicer, too. Less methane, less trash ‘juice’ runoff, fewer seagulls…
Of course the big corps are the real problem. But I do truly care about the environment and I will do everything I can at least to make it a better place. Plus I get a ton of homeless people coming to my neighborhoods trash so I’ll at least sort stuff and make the trash as clean as I can for them, too.
