CR&R services Rancho Santa Margarita as well.

My bins are inside my garage at the condo, so it already gets pretty 'ripe' with the trash, and baby diapers full of shit. No way I want to start composting inside my garage now too. 🤮 Been avoiding the "green waste" process as much as possible. Not alot of people complying in my tract when I look around the block on trash day. Guess we will have to play along eventually.

We also bag our recyclables from inside to the bin, which they say is also a no-no. I don't have enough braincells available to keep up with this BS. We really don't want to do this.

I had to move stuff to storage, to fit the damn green bin when it got delivered.

It’s so stupid because if it’s in a trash bag it’s “trash”. Vs throwing raw food scraps into a bin.

The pendulum has to be as far left as it can go right?
No it’s not. Maybe when being straight and white is finally outlawed, when there’s no such thing as law and order (or all police have been defunded/cancelled or outlawed), and the constitution has been shredded to the point it’s unrecognisable. That might be the limit, but the jackasses ain’t done yet in the here and now.

Dude these threads are becoming almost a daily thing. It is one more nanny, or regulation, or fee every week.

If the pendulum stopped swinging left TODAY it would take 2 decades to undo.

I responded to your worn out wise crack about the weather, I suppose that makes it not so much directed at you, but certainly at your remark.
Oh and since I no longer have a truck that can "Roll Coal", then everybody who does is now an inconsiderate dickhead.

Let's see, anything else --- Oh bikes, nah, did that everyday to everywhere until I was 16 or so, f*ck bikes and double f*ck following them.
I'm glad if you live where you like, but otherwise not sure why I'd care.

Are we clear now ?

meh,
:D

I'm sure our city is working towards this same stupid program. I'm not keeping any food in a compost bin. Screw them and their bullshit ideas. If it gets to that point and people start mandating separation, then we'll have to do something else. I'll just bag it walk it straight to a public trashcan and drop it in. 🖕

Last port call I did in Italy was at Catania, Sicily. 2 days before our arrival I began receiving, via fax, numerous documents dealing with the handling and separation of our trash. We had been at sea for nearly 3 weeks, so there was a fair amount of it. My guys had already separated paper/plastic, food waste, assorted etc. Unfortunately, these documents which I had to sign and stamp, with the ship’s Official stamp, had different stipulations. Paper, card board, plastic, glass, wet garbage, cans etc all had to be separated. So, my guys had to break apart what they’d already prepared and bag those above items separately. It was messy, dirty work, but they got it accomplished before we arrived. Oddly in this port, the port Officials were the first to board. Highly unusual. National Customs and Immigration are always the first to board in all other ports. The first thing these ‘Port Officials’ asked for were my refuse manifest documents. I handed them all those trash and garbage forms I had signed and stamped. They looked them over very carefully. Then they called in about 4 other guys, dressed out in paper hazmat suits and full length rubber gloves. They were introduced to me as the Official Port Refuse Inspection Team. One of my mates led them to the back deck where the numerous large bags of properly separated refuse had been stacked. They opened and inspected about 3 of the more than 25 bags. Then declared our refuse was all in order. With that the lead, heavily uniformed Official called the port Official Refuse Barge on his hand held VHF. When he got off the radio he said, Captain I’m very sorry, our Official Barge is very busy. He will be here in about 3 hours. We are also very busy and must leave your vessel now. I thought, Good. We still had to clear Customs and Immigration. But, that went pretty well. They told me pending proper disposal of our refuse, we were cleared for port entry. 4 hours later a small harbor tug with a dilapidated smelly slimy barge came along side. This was the port’s Official Refuse Barge. My crew began handing each bag separately to the barge crew. The tug captain yelled to my crew, in pretty good English, just throw them all over. After all the bags were thrown on the barge, the barge crew sliced them open and all of it went into one big pile of garbage. WTF. So much for that meticulous separation my crew had done. Later, when departing, our ship’s agent handed me the all the receipt’s for services received while we were in this port. One was for that friggin’ trash/garbage. It was nearly 3K US$. Those idiot ‘official inspectors’ had classed 25% our garbage as hazardous material. I later learned the head Port Official owned that garbage company. And all of this was years prior to Covid.
