Saving compost from landfills
Comments (10)When I was a child (growing up in the mid-20th century) there was a man who came by the school everyday to pick up the milk and food which was discarded from lunch. He fed it to his pigs. He was doing the Jefferson county school system a favor by disposing of it for free. Later he was stopped because someone else complained because they weren't getting free slop for their hogs and dogs. This should have been a situation of "first-asked" but I'm sure our screwed up legal system would have seen it differently. I have been an advocate of recycling for many years. I believe we should build a long tin roofed shed at every garbage dump. The garbage should be dumped on a conveyor. The able bodied (A Medicaid paid physical) people on government assistance who receive food cards, rent supplements, Medicaid, etc.; should be required to sort through the garbage. Plastics, paper, glass, metals should be sorted and sold to recyclers. If they are able bodied then the recycling work would serve as public services work in exchange for taxpayer subsidies. If they miss a day's work without a doctor's excuse they would be cut that amount of pay from their government dole. Reclaimed wood and paper could be burned to generate electricity to run the recycling plant, shredders, blowers for the boilers and smoke scrubbers. Extra electricity would be sold to APCO. Ash could be sold or given away as soil additives (potassium, some phosphorus and magnesium). Some shredded would could be sold as mulch or composted to sell to gardeners. I watched an episode of Dirty Jobs today at a metal recycling center. They make a ton of money (no pun intended) from tons of metals. For those sorted who can't recognize iron from non-ferrous metals, the sorters had a magnet around their necks. Well, if I was a politician, I couldn't get elected dawg catcher on this platform. One of the most important aspects is we would save landfill space and recover some of the cost of operating dumps....See MoreA little Hawaiian Christmas humor.
