    Municipal compost is one of the best waste solutions society has ever implemented. It saves space in landfills, cuts down on odors, and it reduces fire and explosion risks. On top of that, the organic waste becomes compost that can be used locally. Most recyclables have to be shipped far distances before they can be reused but most municipalities can process their own organics into compost. The gardens in your city are proably nourished by the cities organic waste.

    I’ve had coworkers try to say that the organics bin is some woke media conspiracy about control or something and I just don’t understand what their problem is.

      “Exerting control” or “getting you cknditioned to follow orders” is the default motive for conspiracy theories that people cant think of a good motive for. I heard it a lot about using masks during covid.

      It saves space in landfills.

      This can’t be stressed enough… a huge proportion of landfills volume is material that otherwise could have been composted.
