Good for her
Mine go up in smoke as I use them to start the charcoal in my Weber grill. My recycling container is in my garage full of tools and stuff.
She could haul her cat litter up to the Capitol and dump it inside the House. The smell would not be noticed.
Ah liberalism. Such tolerance. Such open mindedness. Such freedom from intrusion.
They worry about us in their bedrooms. Guess we have to worry about them in our garbage bins. At least we have proof they are doing that. I’d dare them to cough up a case where we are literally in their bedroom looking for perversion. (Hint: we don’t have to be in the bedroom to see their perversions.)
ok throw the homemade kitty litter into the newspaper bin
or is there a fine for that?
Used to live in Washington state, where they would charge us some amount of money, per month, to recycle. They would then drop off bins for aluminum, plastic, newspaper and a big garbage can. We returned the bins.
Let’s see; I pay you $$ to haul my garbage, then I pay you more $$ for you to pick up the same garbage that I hand-sorted. If I make a mistake in sorting, then you fine me $$.
How about you just take my money and haul my garbage to the dump, and let me live my life?
disease ridden cat poop BELONGS in the garbage....idiots!
ah, she’s a dumb zealot
she ought to throw her kitty litter shreds in the newspaper recycling bin. It might add a nice aroma to the Washington Post
problem solved
Ewwww! I have 9 cats who use REAL litter. The stench from that can be overwhelming and I clean litter boxes everyday. I can’t imagine what shredded newspaper and junk mail used as cat litter would smell like.
But, I DO agree with another poster who suggested she dump it on the Capitol steps. I would go further and suggest that she dump it beneath Chuck Schumer’s or Barney Frank’s desk!!
THEY would not be able to detect the stench from their own!!!
Sounds to me a simple response by her would be “So you want it in the recycling bin instead? I can do that.”
So if she put the used, shredded newspaper in the recycle bin, that would be OK?
If they want it recycled, I would recycle it. Catshit and all. Heck, I would add to it just for a laugh.
Or, box it up and send it as a present from your cat to the inspector at the Department of Public Works!!!
As an aside ...
Libs love to recycle newspapers - “Newsprint in landfills still readable fifty years later blah blah blah”.
Libs are petrified of carbon emissions - “Global warming! We’re all gonna die! Must sequester CO2! Pump it into big caves underground for eternity!”.
Now, the contradiction...
When trees grow, they extract carbon from the atmosphere. Turning the trees into newsprint and burying it in landfills accomplishes their goal of getting carbon out of the atmosphere. But, if you actually do that, they go nuts (for most, it’s a short trip).
But then, the essence of being a modern liberal is the ability to simultaneously hold fast to two contradictory concepts.
This is why the statists don’t want you to be able to contract for your own trash pickup; it gives them no power to micromanage your behavior to their liking.
In a more free country like, say...Libya, Tunisia, or Egypt these oppressive bureaucrats would be put up against a wall and shot.
The Statists want to control what you do with your garbage. I live in a town (Bellingham WA) run by liberal morons, but they haven’t made it illegal to refuse to recycle. Yet. But when they do, I will keep doing what I do now: everything goes out it the trash. If they want to dig through my trash, they will find some unpleasant surprises waiting! I refuse to allow the liberal thugs to control me.
