Photographic Evidence
Remember a few months ago when I posted about S’s own methods of sorting the garbage and recycling? After coming back with groceries tonight, S set about throwing out some of the old items from the fridge. I was facing the stove as I was getting dinner ready, but I could see from the corner of my eye that she was up to no good.
“What are you doing?” I asked as she put saran wrapped cheese, a container of cream cheese and sliced bread still in its plastic bag into the organic bin.
We laughed at how full the bin was; but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity and so I got out the camera and snagged a picture. I give you photographic evidence of the S method of garbage sorting:

In her defense, S made a good point that all garbage (organic and otherwise) is being thrown into the same heap at the temporary dumps operating during the strike.
Still, it’s a sight to be seen, watching a grown woman sneak around the garbage can like she were doing something she didn’t want to get caught at.
It’s a good thing she’s cute.

I’m still on her side of this one.
Are they crazy about garbage there too? Do you have to separate organic, recyclables and regular garbage or just throw it all in one bag?
The whole organic waste recycling business is a sham anyway, isn’t that what I read in the paper? If I had a house I would probably compost in my backyard. Or maybe I wouldn’t — who knows — only me — and I think garbage disposal is a deeply personal issue.
I am giving more and more thought to starting up a compost; although I would run into the same problem there – how to keep the raccoons out of it.

I think it’s just like any other government program; the government makes claims and promises but rarely are they accurate.
