How will they monitor people who have garbage disposals?
Supermarkets must start donating their excess food
Muffin stumps too?
Dumpster divers are saddened.
California dumps have piping under the waste to trap the methane they have methane generators that trap the gas and it’s used to fuel their trucks.

Will they also be taking pet waste? It also breaks down in a similar way, chemically, to food waste and emits methane in the process.
SHHH, Don’t give the Autocrats any more stupid ideas.
Absolutely every single gram of carbon in food waste came from the atmosphere. Trees grow up out of the ground and it appears that they get all of their mass from under the ground but it they actually only get water and some other elements like nitrogen sulfur phosphorus calcium and silicon. But the carbon that makes up most of the tree comes only from air. When plants decay it just goes back to the air. Of course it is in the form of methane lots of the time and methane actually floats up out of the atmosphere and gets taken away by the solar wind. The net effect is less carbon on earth. That is why carbon which is the fourth most abundant element in the universe is only the 14th most abundant element in the earth’s crust.
Generations ago..When I was in the public school business..we did a similar thing. We converted uneaten food into...
BACON...SAUSAGE...HAM...PORK CHOPS ....We were happy..the farmer was happy..Pigs were happy for a while??
The problem was...It Worked..Feds could not stand that. Therefore it became a banned practice.
And the cost of the program imposed on municipalities to collect the waste and turn it into energy will make for very expensive “biogas” energy. If the municipalities don’t find a away to use that energy themselves, they’ll next get the stupid California legislature to demand the utility companies buy the expensive “biogas” energy from the municipalities.
Then again, as the earth climate cools over the next decades, they will need all the energy they can get.
But it will make the Rats feel better, and the rats will love those green delivery boxes.
Better buy an extra garbage disposal unit before the Commies ban the sale or possession of it.
Soon we’ll have to use clear bags so they can see what we are throwing out , pretty bad when you can’t throw out garbage although these rules are made by Garbage Governments

What about human waste?
Will I have to put it into the ‘green waste’ can, for recycling?
One party state in action. Without any opposition every crazy idea they come up with gets put in practice.
Our local landfill has three containerized diesel generators running off of the methane. IIRC, several thousand local homes get their electricity from these.
A better idea is to feed these scraps to Black Soldier Fly larvae, then feed the larvae to chickens, tilapia, pigs, etc.
Or to Woke Environmentalists?

Invent plumbing for kitchen garbage disposals so 'the waste' is send to a different type of treatment center and really can be composted.
