Disposing of trimmings

[J2thadub]

Can anyone suggest some methods for disposing of rockwool, stems, fan leaves, trimmings, etc.? What do you guys do with all of the garbage? BTW, going to the local dump is not an option.

Here's some I've come up with...

1. Put it out with all the rest of the household garbage?
2. Put everything through a (meat) grinder and turn it into mulch/compost to be added to on-site landscape?
3. Crank up the garbage disposal?
4. Find a remote dump site?

#1 is easiest effort-wise. I live on route with city issued refuse containers meaning a garbage truck pulls up, and huge "grabber" extends out and grabs the container and lifts it up and over. The driver doesn't really see the contents (unless there is a dashboard camera but I doubt it). And everything should be double bagged anyway I think. I only problem is that YOUR garbage is public property once left curbside so anyone could lawfully search through it.

#2 would take a great deal of time and energy but seems the smartest of the four I came up with. Could also be used as a precursor to #1.

#3 would take a lot of time and patience regardless and you have to be careful not to overload the disposal and/or your plumbing.

#4 would involved driving around the vicinity with a carload of a controlled substance and runs a risk of being spotted doing the deed. Plus it's littering lol. I only mention it because I read some article online a while back about police finding a bunch of garbage bags full of "extremely low grade marijuana".

I'm sure you guys have thought up smarter methods than these. Any suggestions?

First of all dont trow away the fan leaves or trimmings you could make hash out of that dude...

...and you still have all the leafs and trimmings, only now there's no trich's on them. Now what?

This is a good question.

This whole process starts from the time you harvest your plant.
It is much easier and faster to clean the large unwanted fan leaves from your plants while they are still standing and growing. You can clean all the large fans leaves. Plus the yellow and any with out trichomes / Resin on them and put these aside for disposal.

Then once your plants have dried you can clean all the Resin covered leaves separate. Keeping these and any small buds that are a waste of time to trim for Home Made Hash Making. This resin covered plant material will yield about 7 to 10 percent of good quality Hash. So break that down for every 100 grams of good quality resin covered trim, you are throwing away an average of 8 grams of good Hash, that is worth between 10 and 30 dollars, euros or pounds a gram.
Plus you will learn to really enjoy Hash more than weed once you learn how to make you own Home Made Hash. For remember you are only growing the plant for the resin.

For disposal of all unwanted trim, you can dry this very dry and break it down to powder which then you can easily spread around your lawn or dig a hole and bury it.

For large stems, you can break these down in to small 1 foot pieces or smaller and bundle them up easily to be transported and disposed of more easily.

For Rockwool, use gloves and a mask and remove all the labels and plastic. Then your can disposal of it in 2 separate places.

Always remove labels and throw away in 2 different spots.

I just bag it well and put it in the garbage,the guys on the truck don't take time to look , they just grab and toss,they don't get paid enough to be curious. they just want to get the job done, at least here where they are on contract,not hourly municipal employees.

I use my garbage disposal, toilet, and my favorite is my fire pit. I never throw anything that has to do with a grow in the garbage. My trash goes curbside as well so i wont take the risk. I barbeque alot so i have a nice fire going in the pit with meat on the grill and some cold beer and it is evidence destroying time.lol

 

[purplehaze2]

nice. I will be over for a beer and some barbeque.late

It doesn't even smell anymore.

 

[HippieMan]

i stick em in a blender and pour em into the soil outside like in a hole

 

[hobbygrows]

i use just about whatever. i save my trim for hash of course, larger leaves and used soil i usually put into my garden, or level out holes around the garden. i really dont have much to hide due to my garbage men thankfully.

methods for disposing of rockwool.

Can't help you. I'm not even sure what rockwool is made of.

stems,
fan leaves,
trimmings, etc.?

I dry out my trimmings to be used for cannabis tea. Stems and leaves could be used as well. After tea, the remains could be composted or easily discarded in an under-sink garbage disposal.

 

[TetraHyC]

don't put rockwool in the garbage disposer.

 

[Johnnyorganic]

don't put rockwool in the garbage disposer.
