Free up some space in your freezer by using some of the food in there.
I believe you have said you have a lot of "frozen treats" that you
keep for your family. I'd start by not replenishing that stockpile.

I have a storage container that I keep in my freezer for
non-compostable food waste. It gets emptied into the trash every time
I'm going to put out a bag of garbage, then the storage container gets
washed out and put back in the freezer.

I do this because we have to pay $3 per bag of garbage going out, and
we generate *very* little trash other than cat litter. We either
compost or recycle everything, but you can't compost meat bones and
scraps around here because it attracts coyotes. By freezing my meat
scraps, I can get away with only putting out a bag of garbage once a
month.

There isn't much food in there. There is a lot of ice. And I have the
frozen treats because it's very hot here. We need them.

What is non-compostable food waste? Everything we have here is compostable
except for fat and I rarely ever have that.

Bones and scraps are fine here. We do have coyotes. We generally have a
full can when my husband is home. We can't recycle lids and I often get
things like Styrofoam that I can't recycle.

Well then, get rid of some of the ice.

Non-compostable food waste is meat scraps and bones. My husband puts
all other organic waste on his compost pile.

Why can't you recycle styrofoam and lids? They are perfectly fine to
recycle here.

I don't know why. I am not a recycling company. I know you can take the
Styrofoam to some places but no place around here. And they tell us no
lids.

Lids???

Here the trash company wants styrofoam in with the regular trash, not
the recyclables bin... makes me happy as they don't want a plastic bag
for the recyclables like they want for the trash and so on windy days
the styrofoam won't blow all over when they pick up to dump with that
mechanical arm. I don't have much styrofoam anyway. I'm very glad
that Amazon no longer uses those styrofoam peanuts for packing
material, very messy and would fill the entire bin... now they use
that bubble wrap with the giant bubbles, I pop them, roll the plastic
and staple the little bundle it so it takes little space. I'm the
original trash compactor, I crush all cans and plastic containers,
flatten all cartons, even small cartons from toothpaste and such gets
flattened. I bought a heavy duty stapler to bundle paper, staples 70
sheets, and I use packing tape to keep cardboard flat. I don't mind
consolidating trash, I'd rather than have to go to a larger bin. The
larger bins don't cost more but they are so large I wouldn't be able
to fit them in my garage with the car.

That made me want to estimate how much I pay per bag. Not, you know,
to make you feel bad, but to get a feel for things.

We pay $17.02 per month (it's called out as a separate line item
on our water bill, but we don't have a choice about paying it).
We've been provided with a 95-gallon garbage can (on wheels) and
another that same size for recycling. They're picked up by a hydraulic
arm on the truck, but apparently if we have more than 95 gallons in
a single week, we can set bags next to the can and the driver will
get out and take care of it.

There's no requirement or incentive to compost or even to recycle.
We could put all of our recyclables into the garbage (and I'm sure
some people in our township do that). No penalty.

We typically generate three medium bags of trash per week, although
I'm going to round that up to four, because we often have a bag
or two from the workshop or garage.

So 17.02 / 4 = $4.26 per week, or about a buck a bag for us.

We generally fill the recycle bin about halfway up.

Holy crap! Our normal bill is tons more than that! I had 4 bins of
recycling this week but that's more than usual. I got rid of some old cat
carriers and there was a lot of packing stuff in some boxes that large
things came in.

I toss all meat scraps outside, crows get them before I get back
inside... there are coyotes here too but they don't get a chance at
the meat scraps... the crows are way off in the distance atop the tall
spruce, watching for me to open the slider to my deck. In no time
there's a murder of crows picking up every bit and then they fly off
to gorge, crows are smart, they don't eat where they find food.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

The dwarf hates crows because they're black.
