The City of Seattle just passed a new trash ordinance that would fine residents and businesses for throwing away too much food.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
a lock on the dumpster will work just fine...no court ordered search warrent, no search....Period!....and you’d better have probable cause...
When I was a kid their was a local garbage man that would come and get your food garbage and he was also a pig farmer. I imagine today, they would permit a guy to darn near death, let alone let him have a pig farm in the burbs of Seattle...
Somebody needs to go to the city council meeting with a roll of toilet paper. Then, he stands up and yells at the council, “Which one of you wants to wipe my ass? You all evidently want to be my Mommy!”
Seattle IS one big Marxist trashcan.
Easy solution for me. My dogs produce more that 5 pounds of waste each day. Much more than the food I toss. So mix the dog sh!t in with the food and see just how long the trash man spends “inspecting” the trash.
Could keep the stuff in bags and sometimes drive by and drop it in Fremont trash cans - very, very liberal the ones with the Lenin statue.
Or drop it at lefty Costco or anti-gun Starbucks and Panera. Oh, and the Simon-owned Northgate Mall.
Google this story and Seattle Times and read the comments there. Seattle really is a lunatic asylum.
Why is that?
From another article, it is a $1 fine added to the regular bill. You CAN throw food away - as long as it is in with the other compost stuff (yard waste).
We had a small food waste bin when we first moved here. The first summer, with all the little bugs flying around it, the entire bucket went in the garbage. I’m all for trying to minimize waste depending on the level of effort. But it seemed stupid to have a bunch of rotting food sitting in the kitchen attracting bugs.
I also won’t wash out really dirty jars (like peanut-butter), and if I’m cleaning out the garage and a few pieces of paper get mixed in with the other crap - sorry.
I was giving my sister fits cleaning out our mom’s house awhile ago not sorting out the garbage and recylables. She would end up rooting through my garage-floor sweepings getting the post-it notes, price tags, etc.
I feel like going to Seattle order some food... and throw out the food, just to tell those A$$|-|©|$ to stuck it.
Effem. Flush it.
Or just dump it in your neighbors trash can when they put it to the curb and go to bed lol
Our plumber was here to look for a ring that I thought I had flushed. He followed the main line all the way to the street with a camera. He said we have really clean lines. We have high water pressure and no food goes thru the garbage disposal. We had a line plug up once about 13 years ago and have been dumping scraps in the garbage since then. He said if more people did that they’d have less problems.
Nanny State going through your garbage PING!
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”
It is obvious these people have never spent any time reading our founding documents, or if they have, they are unable to think critically enough to understand what they are saying.
Thanks for the ping!
Just wait until bakeries need to find a way to dispose of uneaten muffin stumps!
Seattle may be have the most moonbatty government of any major city.
Don’t put it in the garbage can, put it in a compost bin, or just bury it in the backyard. It’ll turn into black gold compost. Helps your garden grow.
