Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I spread it in my vegetable garden, of course! It's basically dirt.

lisah! Sorry about your crappy day and stress... and seeing your name reminded me that I still have your house key. I'm not completely sure which one it is on the ol' keychain, though. So, one of these days, we should get together so I can return it. After you tell me which one it is. I think I know, but...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And Connie's question + flea's answer exactly highlight why I'm getting more dissatisfied with not having food waste/compost as part of the city solid waste services the more I think about it -- as it stands, the city has some decent info on composting and they occasionally have a sale on compost bins, but there's absolutely no motivation to compost for non-gardeners. And even though this is kind of a more-locavore-than-thou area, we have a *hell* of a lot more non-gardeners than gardeners...

We always wind up with waaaaaaaaaay more compost than we can use, so we mostly give it away to people with real (grass) yards. (As I mentioned before, in exchange for their clippings and dried leaves. It's a good system.)

I was wondering what to do with compost if you don't garden, have much of a yard.
Though I do know you can't dispose of bodies in the compost pile. Or not efficiently.

Vegetal material is best. Meat is not so good. It's smelly.

I think acid is better for bodies. But I'm sure it still leaves plenty of forensic trace.

My hometown just started composting with green waste. They gave us a little handled bin to toss everything in the kitchen and then transport to the green bin.
I'm very excited by this turn of events. The flyer confused me though. On the cover they picture all the allowable objects including all food scraps (meat too) and soiled paper. What surprised me was a picture of a milk carton.
I have always understood waxed paper was not recyclable or compostable. Am I mistaken? And if so, that's even more exciting to me.
We also have single-stream recycling. The composting has greatly reduced my trash volume.
