As of 2021 California is supposed to separate out food waste from their garbage and put it into the greenwaste bin. I'm curious - when the greenwaste truck goes to the land fill doesn't he back his truck up to the same spot where the garbage truck dumped his load? And so, isn't our food waste/greenwaste now still going into the same landfill as it used to go into?
My problem is I take my garbage over to my daughter's house and put it into her garbage cans. Because she lives on 5 acres and has lots of greenwaste, her bin is always full by the time I get there. So what am I to do with my food waste (egg shells, orange peels, coffee grounds, left over food, etc)?
Being an old person, and living alone, I really don't have too much food waste, but what little I do have, what am I now supposed to do with it? If I bury it (but where?) aren't I still contributing to the greenhouse gas problem they're trying to eliminate? I don't get it.
I really would like some constructive help with this, not a debate or an argument.
