creative ways to dispose of pot trash

The easiest thing to do would be just dump everything in the alley. Thats what all city people do. They are stuffed w/garbage anyway. A friend of mine dumps all his trash around the city alleys. And its nothing incrimminating either. If you live in the woods then you have enough privacy to do whatever, burn, compost, bury. If you live in the city its much harder to get rid of incrimminating trash. City people don't have the options the people who live in the woods do. But letting everything dry out like somebody said above sounds like the best bet. Once everything is dry you could crumble into basically dusts and then it would be much easier to get rid of.

Waste Disposal?

Waste Disposal?

Howdy IC, I was curious what methods I could do to dispose of old leaves, stems, and the like. I have no fire place and I dont thnk throwing all my stuff away in someone elses bin is the safest thing to do. i was thinking about hiking to different locations and burying the evidence...but im unsure.

any advice is highly appreciated as im trying to plan all aspects before the actual grow.

ive heard of some people useing there garbage disposal....

as for me i keep everything in a bag including pump boxes and anything that o ne might see used for growing and then i got a buddy who owns some apartments... he lets me throw the crap in his dumpsters....

what ever you do dont use your own garbage... easiest way to get busted...
 
how much waste are we talkin here? 1 pant? 12? acre? huge ass hydro root balls?:) i dont have that many plants but when i take cuttings or trim her i just do a extra good job cutting up of the leaves and flush them. never putting more down then what i know my toilet can handle (toilet paper wise). good luck

i know that someone has a better way - id like to see how other do it. i do live right backed up to the woods and do have a fire pit.

take a look at something called vermicomposting, or worm farming. theyll eat anything organic you give them and will thank you with high quality mulch. check it out!

I live in South Australia, its regarded by many as australia's growroom because the hydroponic industry is massive here and we have decriminalization policies. Evidence of this can be seen everywhere with all the rootballs, perlite, hydroton that you see lying around, it is a very common sight. They even had a special news report once about hydroponic waste. People around here commonly throw the root balls out of the car while there driving. Only a few months ago I was driving home late at night near my house and just streets away had to dodge something in the middle of the road, a big rootball coco coir was the medium I beleive. Then as I'm looking at the rear view mirror I nearly hit another, then another a bit further down the road, I had a bit of a chuckle to myself. Another hazard around here is slipping on hydroton as you walk through poorly lit car parks or just along the side of quiet roads. Its everywhere lol.. You can even get an idea how good the grow may have been by smelling the stem or by how thick it is.

Make hash, or oil, then dig a whole and bury it by next year dig it up and there should be some nice dirt there.
 
Chop it up and mix in w/my grass clippings. Then dump in green bin and let the trash person pick it up. He doesnt even get out of the truck.

My methods:

Stems: let dry out and use for tinder/kindling

Sugar leaves/popcorn: bubble hash

Leaves/roots: Compost/vermicompost

Rockwool: Dry out, place in chipper/shredder

Old Nutrient Containers: Recycle drop-off

Old peat moss/coir: Outside flower bed

A friend of mine grew outdoors last year, when he harvested it, we took all the leaves in the car and let them out of the sunroof by the local college. Was really quite funny at the time. There were leaves everywhere.

I put mine in trash bags and I have a mental list of about 30 dumpsters I can swing in and out of in a breeze. When I am out and about in my city, I'm always looking for and noting dumpsters which are easy to park next to and not kept locked.

I realize that I should / could probably do something more environmentally friendly with the material, but my main concern is it not ending up in my personal household trash.
