I have been growing for a year, and live in an apartment. I have a giant garbage bag full of roots and stalks and I dont want to leave it out for the garbage man they go through everything here. Ideas guys? Please help. Just carrying this giant bag to my car and driving off with it will raise a few eyebrows.

Put a hand full off roots and stuff into your pockets each day you leave the house. Get rid of it bit by bit.
Just like in those Prison break movies. The prisoner put the dirt from the tunnels in their pockets and dumped it..... LOL

Truthfully...just break it up into smaller bags...a little @ a time.

Take it to the woods.

Its always best when its completely dry, leaves will break down into a powder and stalks should be chopped up into small pieces. Then you can do with it what you want.

Never tried it because I have a garden but if the leaves are broken down to powder, then re-hydrated into a sludge, it can then be flushed down the drain. Serial killer style.

Edit: Probably not a good idea because the drains may get blocked.

Flush the leaves. Take to your car at night or early morning. Throw it away in a dumpster. Any restaurant has the big dumpsters. You don't really need to worry about it. Throw it away in your complex's bin, if anyone ask's anything say its not yours.

I wouldnt want to get caught with even a small bag of leaves. Chances are the cops wouldnt differentiate between leaves and twigs and prime grade (A) bud.

Then they arrest and search your home and it gets messy.

there's no such thing as waste material. Run everything that isn't buds through some bubble bags and collect the hash. Store what's left over in the freezer. Once enough frozen leftovers (3 or 4 plants worth) have been collected, make some butter. After you've made butter, the leftovers can be thrown out or put down the garbage disposal. They will in no way resemble weed. Anyone looking through your garbage will think its coffee grounds.

Got a food processor?

If you can mash the plant material (and I mean mash), you can fulsh it (not all at once) down the toilet.

I have a yard, so I just throw my roots & stalk in front of the lawn-mower.

I bought a compost bin to use in my yard. In an apartment you could easily flush the leaves after you get all of your use out of them. Easy broken up and flushed when dried and crumbly. I would chop the stems into smaller pieces to make them easier to ditch. You live anywhere near a wooded area? A quick drive by the woods you could toss all remaining plant matter. Just separate the stems from the roots so it doesn't look like suspicious plant dumping.

I have never even wondered about it...during winter I stick it all in the woodstove...in summer I leave it til it gets really dry and then just crumble it all into the compost...Really once it is dry just crumble the leaves wherever....it won't be recognizable, so no worries...sometimes I scrub it all into tiny pieces and then throw it all in the trash...The stalks are just sticks with no leaves...so I would just toss them in the trash...Nobody is going to pull it out and be like wait! This is a marijuana stick! We need to search for it's owner...

Dry it out, mash it up, and sell it to new age teenage wannabe-hippies :D

I mix it in a big black bag full of general household waste and dog shit from the garden, dog shit on top. People won't dig in that bag for long once they get the first faceful of turd-whiff. My local disposal facilities have a strict policy on touching anything once its been thrown in, in fact if you accidentally throw your car keys in with a bag of rubbish they won't recover them. They also go over the trash regularly with a big spiky crusher/roller contraption of fear.

If I didn't have that, I'd probably mix it into my normal garden soil, obviously soil ending up on top. If thats not an option, get rid of it a bit at a time with household crap.

thats a good question..ive never really thought about how apartment growers get rid of the grow trash. i would let it dry out and flush it myself...or buy a rabbit and let him dispose of ur derbis. i know of a person that has a big grow and has 2 pigmy goats and they dispose of everything they come to contact with, eatable or not. at my house i just throw it in the yard and mow it with the grass and in winter time i stick most of it in the fireplace. as far as the stalks go, my dogs chew them into toothpicks in no time flat

get a goat.

put them in in multiple bags so you can see through it then throw it away where you throw all your trash away.
and dont flush them. if you clog the plumbing there and they pull those leafs out you might end up in some trouble

Dumpster dropping in the early hours of the day... quick and efficient. if not at your apartment then a complex nearby. Driving around with bags of plant material will make your car stinky on a hot day.. I try to be quick and agile...lol
