Where I am we pretty much do all that already.

Why not just capture the methane directly from the rubbish dumps...with a little compression and drying will work fine in a gas engine to generate electricity.

Ministers want a slop bucket for food waste to be placed in every kitchen

How to tell which is which.

[dr_lew]

He is also likely to outline a plan for giant incinerators to burn more than 20% of rubbish that cannot be recycled. This too would be used to generate energy.

Without even thinking, I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that this effort will consume more energy than it produces.

Is there no limit to the sacrifices to be made in the Green “Religion”?

[Awestruck]

this is exactly how the “Great Leap Forward” started in communist China.. requiring households to store waste items to fertilize goverment fields.

[starbase]

A chicken in every pot, and a slop bucket in every British home.

[snowsislander]

Instead of throwing out scraps, households would be required to store them separately for at least a week until they are collected by recycling teams.

At least a week?

I think that slop bucket is going to be pretty ripe if it's only being emptied so infrequently. So much for beautifying Britain: this seems to me a bit of move down from "Cool Britannia" to "slop bucket Britain."

I think I would have to take it over to the Ministers home every night. I was thinking where would I keep it if USA makes this policy. I thought well the Kitchen is out because of flies and bugs so I thought what about the shed. Then I thought about rats and cockroaches may get in there. So my final thought is to take it to who ever approves of this nonsense bill’s home and let them deal with it.

[snowsislander]

Upon sharing this story with another, the question arose: what about restaurants? Are they also going to be subject to keeping massive slop buckets for such long periods?

That might make for a somewhat olfactorily interesting dining experience.

as part of the government’s waste strategy

Aptly named.

And we thought Jimmy Carter was bad telling us to adjust our thermostats so we would freeze in the winter and boil in the summer.

[beckysueb]

We had one of those when I was a kid. We fed it to the hogs. The slop, not the bucket.

[JustDoItAlways]

My grandparents (who farmed) always had a slop bucket under the sink. Every couple of days, the pigs got a treat.

This is the green agenda - go back to the hard life our grandparents and our great grandparents had. (Us not them of course.)

[Lewite]

A better idea would be to make every one keep a pig. That is all they eat over there. You could feed him scraps and excrement, instead of flushing all that valuable pig food down the tubes. One half or more of a pigs diet is excrement, that is what gives pork that sweet tender taste every one loves so well.

Government recycling is merely a tax with a different name.

As one who grew up in the family metal recycling business, trust me when I say that if it is possible to recycle something at a profit, a scrap man is already so doing.

Let some goobers in a gooberment agency get their manicured hands on the tax payers cash via “recycling” programs and prodigious waste becomes the daily drill.

The situation is compounded when GangGreen whackos are ‘stake holders” and are allowed any ‘stake’ other than the one they should be impaled on.

Miami, that festering pit of socialism at the tip of FloriDUH, tried recycling things such as glass, only to find out than most glass factories prefer sand.

Only when “encouraged” by government intervention, could the bottles be disposed of with any income at all to the Gooberment. “Recycling” is all too often another example of an inferior government product/service at an inflated price.

[Kozak]

Penn and Teller riduculed this in B#llshit. They had about 8 containers and got a bunch of LA Libs to try and separate their garbage with ridiculour rules like "blood products" "Wet Garbage" etc.
