You know why you separate your trash into three bins?

Compost, recycle, and landfill?

I’ll tell you why, because either your city, county or state requires it. This may not apply to everybody in the country, but I hope to God it applies to most.

Guess which piece of shit and which Supreme Court pieces of shit will soon figure out a way to force them not to do this.

Yes, FORCE them NOT to separate the trash and do the right thing for the environment.

Just like doing away with the electric vehicle subsidy, to get back at the adults these pieces of shit will damage the environment every way they can.

My compost (if it’s more than my garden needs) gets placed separately on the curb and my city takes it to a big compost pile that anyone can access

They will have to pry my recycle bin out of my cold, dead hands!

It’s just my prediction.

I have a track record going back several years now predicting that the pieces of shit will do the worst possible imaginable thing and so far I’ve been right every time.

My city stopped recycling years ago. Turns out they were just shipping it across the country to another state anyway.

Where are you? You better not answer that.

Are you in Canada though?

10. In in CA. Maybe the truck does have 3 different sections. I just noticed that they empty all bins into the same truck.

And there's thousands, hundreds of thousands of companies out there around the world who are actively working to improve the way we dispose of all of our waste and refuse. There's new technology being invented daily.

I'm in the industry, trust me!
