Re: how to dispose of...

[Guest guest]

I need and crave meats, but my upper GI disorders don't tolerate

fats. So I accumualte a fair amount of meat fats in a week's time.

I throw it in my garbage/waste collection bin/can that goes out to

the curb once a week. I hate wasting it, and don't like adding it to

the landfill, but don't have access to farm animals or pets that

might like it. I certainly don't want it in my plumbing or compost.

I have a small wastebasket/trash can in my kitchen, lined with a bag,

and I just drain off the meat fats, whether warm or cold, into this

container. I add stuff like fish bones and scales, meat packages and

other non-compostible materials into this refuse container, so the

fats aren't sloshing around on their own in the bag. Every few days

this small bag goes into my larger can in my carport and then off to

the landfill once a week.

It's quite fragrant after a few days in the heat and humidity of my

carport, and attracts wildlife at times. But although the racoons

certainly try their best, they haven't managed to open the lid....

bone broth (very fatty, almost gelatin) in the fridge too long so

that has to go, too.
