@afewbugs There's been a good solution to this for 50 years:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_separatorThanks for sharing this tour!In my town, we have "separate stream" recycling; a town contractor empties our recycling wheelie bin, alternating between paper/cardboard and glass/metal/plastic weekly.We pay a separate local company to empty a 5-gallon bucket of food waste every week, which is then composted at local farms. They're a small business, and track how much waste we generate on their website. At the end of every summer, they deliver a large bag of garden compost to us.The remainder goes in a separate trash wheelie bin; because of the diversions above, we rarely generate more than one kitchen bag full per week. By diverting the food scraps, our garbage doesn't smell!My spouse did some work with a trash-to-energy plant in our state; they *loved* getting containers of kitchen grease and used cooking oil, because of the high BTU content. Keeping that out of the drains is critical, unless you want fatbergs.
