Already gas and now food... will any of us be impacted by the coming recession?

man i hate the job of emptying my food scraps bin. it's not edible like the bread dumpster. it's in fact some seriously malodorous stank, like ben's toe.

What, you think we're above that?
Food scraps are definitely the worst though. I was an RA at a Junior College dorm back in California. A sand blaster, flame thrower and spacial portal to the center of the galaxy M87 was required when we cleaned people's garbage cans at the end of every term.
It traumatized me enough that I will now never throw out anything without rinsing it or cleaning it.

Man, this is so easy to avoid too. I just use a 1 quart glazed flower pot from Ikea and keep it on my kitchen sink. I go through more coffee grounds than anything else, but it's still so easy. I empty it once every two days or so, and rinse. Seriously, how hard is it?
Walking to the compost bin is HARD!

Most of my food waste goes into a green cone, which features essentially a plastic laundry basket sunk into the earth, so the worms can get in and do that thing they do. So the huge green bin only has sticks, leaves, pizza boxes and tea bags. Not too bad.
Oh, but next year, we'll get to throw meat and dairy into the huge green bin. If you think they stink now... And worms don't like meat and dairy much, so I'll be in the same smelly boat.

I wish we could easilly compost living in our condo. We put it all in a plastic potato-salad container (with lid) from Costco and once a week or so I slip the contents into one of our Single Occupancy Neighbors' bin.

Your worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all

maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but
variable service, two dishes, but to one table:
that's the end.

My pizza dumpster already does this. Luckily, however, the soiled cardboard boxes they use are compostable. So the whole pizza & box get thrown out. Often whole untouched pizza's.
You wish you knew where that was, suckas!

Joby, my brain is like being on drugs all the time.

That's not in my translation of the I Ching.
