Dear Seattle,
Our seagulls have their bags packed and are on their way.
Love,
California

The rats are carpooling and should arrive any day now.The fleas are along for the ride.

While residents will have to pay for the service, the city will not check whether they are actually dumping food in the new separate bin.

Whaddaya mean it’s just another tax?

Don’t look now, but the Enviro-mentalists are Comming.

I think EVERYONE in Seattle should dump as much rotten food in those bins as possible and see how long that lasts.

let’s see… you have to first pay for the food, then pay the sewer tax to get rid of what your body can’t process, then pay the recycle tax to get rid of what you can’t eat.  if the size of the landfills is a problems, it’s probably not so much the leftover food, but the wasteful packaging it came in.  unreal.

Seattle has more fuckwits than San Francisco.

Composting anyone? Then they’ll tax residents for the methane generated from worm farts.

Is there a Concord Bridge in Seattle?

I waiting for Seattle to outlaw carbonated beverages. CO2 is bad, yannow?

Remember, you heard it here first.

So what, pray tell, is the great City of Seattle going to do with all those food scraps?

This is the first step towards the production of Soylent Green.

“We can treat waste as a resource and continue to recirculate it as we reclaim, recycle it or turn it into compost.”

RECLAIM and RECYCLE

Soylent Green is PEOPLE!

Don’t you people in Seattle have dogs?

What I wanna know is who gets to sift though all the garbage to make sure I’m not throwing away a half of a tuna sammich or something.

I can see my first grade teacher Sister Mary Jane applying for the job but I think she was 147 at that time.  I’m sure she is retired by now.  Rest assured, she would be right there telling you guys about the starving people in China who would gladly eat what we throw away.

Only fair i s’pose, since China has been sending us shit to eat for some time now.

dick,
I’m wit yous.

Lock’n’Load!!!!!
...the revoltin’ libtard revolution must stop.

Sometime back, somebody mentioned how the language falls victim first when doing battle. Recycling has officially been lost as another casualty thanks in no small part to the mindless pit of morons in the Seattle shitty council.

Their parents shoulda knocked’em in the heads and raised hogs - before they mutated into council demagogues.

I can’t figure out how food waste WON’T break down in a landfill but will in a compost pile.........

Head Momma Sondra…

Because the city council TOLD the garbage it couldn’t compost in the dump....

That is strictly forbidden by waste management regulation #649-32.  Which clearly states that any and all microbes that cause the breakdown of household kitchen refuse cannot breed in King County Landfills.

WHAT???

*Guffaw*

Of course its twu!...I wouldn’t lie to U.

Dave,
It won’t last long--collection of 2 gargage cans will be too labor intensive and expensive, and recycling of the separate food waste will not materialize.

How absolutely ridiculous!
The council declined to ban Styrofoam and plastic garbage bags WalMart bags. For now, SPU will study a ban and plastic-bag tax and report back to the council by the end of this year.
I thought the Austin moonbats were bad!

And just what would you expect from the only city in the US with a public statue of Lenin?

We’re stuck with this crap and will be fined for throwing the wrong thing in the wrong container (everyone in the building pays if someone screws up, how very socialist).  Not that we have any control of the dumpsters which sit open to the world.

GOT to get out of this socialist shithole.

Not to mention the apparently non-food consuming inhabitants living in apartments and voting on land rights, while owning none. Socialist slabs’o refried recyclowns be gone with you all!

Will they have to separate the organic scraps from the non-organic scraps?

You know that’s next, right?

I predict a jump in sales of heavy duty garbage disposals.

And as a curious aside, an unusual increase in the number of missing persons.

Great place to take a shit.

There I am again Eddy! I KNEW as soon as I read it! Bwhahahahahahahahahhaaa

The Left Coast is heading at light speed in to unrecoverable insanity. Yew Sondra. Get out now while property values are still good.

Phil over at Random Nuclear Strikes has some more info about this.  He works in waste management in the Seattle area.

Sondra: in a landfill, nothing much rots because there is a lack of oxygen. In an anaerobic pile, decay is low and uncertain. A compost pile is aerobic, which is why you provide oxygen. The whole concept of a composting landfill is just a lefty myth from the 1960s.

“So what, pray tell, is the great City of Seattle going to do with all those food scraps?”

They could go into the hog farming business. Can you imagine the pork you could make from them rich white folks’ scraps?

Or, they can create cute environmental sculptures like that crazy lady did that Sondra posted about a while back. Remember, the used toilet paper lady? Hell, the whole city could work together and wrap the Space Needle in a sculpture of Lenin, all made from garbage.

Something tells me that in Seattle, they call it gar-baag’e.

And the friggin’ Lefties are afraid of the Patriot Act???

Thirty years ago, the Missus was teaching and I was a small farmer. We raised twenty pigs on leftovers from the school cafeteria. They particularly enjoyed the butterscotch pudding.
They had to eat boring old pig chow on weekends tho’
The pork was excellent.

“Don’t these people have disposal’s in there sinks? “

No doubt.  The aerobic digesters at the WWTP make quick work of food products.  The food is actually good for the WWTP ‘cuz it helps feed the bugs so that they can digest less palatable wastes such as oils.

SK - you should take a little fact finding field trip sometime and see exactly what they ARE doing with the scraps.  See if they’re just dumping them with everything else in the landfill still, and then sticking everyone with bogus extra fee.

Guess the next thing Seattle mandates is poop recycling?

Didn’t they sort of do that during that last election cycle?  They can’t however claim it as original, cause DC and NO beat’em to it.

In a struggle for power, first seize the language.

Primitives and children—like the rest of us—crave clear boundaries.  A or B?  Black or White?  Now or Never?
What doesn’t work so well is to tell me I’m a responsible adult then constrain my life and actions and the very food I eat saying it’s for my “protection”
-- and make me pay for the priviledge…

Garbage collection has long been the front for various political machines.  Might be interesting to note who is manufacturing/selling the speecial bins and whose brother-in-law/campaign donor he is.
