One of the Dirtiest Jobs In San Francisco Is Dealing With Food Waste | World Wide Waste

By far the easiest and most economical way to deal with food waste is to give it to pigs and chickens. Not only do they grow much quicker when fed food wastes that humans produce, but they return that energy back into the soil in the form of their compost. That way they literally make ordinary farm crops grow up to 3X faster and double the size of the crop. WTF are we doing throwing food scraps into an expensive landfills? Aliens are right... "humans are too stupid to share our secrets with".

F O G O

I love it.

Yeah that’s not compost lol.
You know damn well plastics are making it through the screening process and getting ground up into the final product 🤮

I would’ve thought that nothing would come close to being as dirty as having to clean the tons of human feces off the streets deposited there by the homeless and the drug addicts that are allowed to run rampant by the worthless Governor Nuisance and Mayor London Mouthbreather.

This is fantastic but they need to figure out a way to screen out all that plastic! Shocking amount of plastic which will turn into micro plastic in the finished compost...

Love the guy who loves every part of his job, this type pf people are doing the real job that is solving so many issues we normal people don't even realize.
we would love to add this to our playlist to inspire more people to compose and how this is so important for our planet ~Team planet cents

What a load of rubbish 👍🇦🇺

So the government is forcing you to throw food in a separate bin or they'll charge you, i.e. "tax", a higher rate? California sucks.

The hardest part is getting people to separate garbage into different types. This requires regulations/laws to motivate people to change their habits. Americans are apathetic and lazy about this behavior. Also, government composting programs tend to be Democratic ones because the "freedom" advocates would rather we choke on our own garbage than do the right thing.

All people I know in nyc who just dumps everything saying it just goes to landfill anyways. People need better education. So much stigma about not voting for criminal politicians, we would benefit from one in ten if that propaganda directed to sustainability

The future of farming will require the following 5 elements:
Manures + food wastes + dead bugs (dead cock roaches and pests) + live worms + natural pesticides

Plastik Kompost

Is it that hard for people to have one bin for food an garden waste, one for recycling and one that should be the least used for the land fill.

God there's so many plastic bags in there, it's insane. Don't put plastic bags in your compost bin! How hard is it?!

I'm glad Los Angeles is finally doing this.

If I were a minister of garbage in this country, the FIRST thing I’d cancel and make it punishable by law is a plastic bags for garbage.
I can’t wrap it around my head. Easily degradable food waste in absolutely non degradable plastic bag.
It’s so stupid!!!!!
All that food waste can become a super rich fertile soil in a matter of a few months. Instead they burry it in a plastic coffin.

WHY???

Im not some crazy global warming activist, I just look at this from a common sense and logic point of view.

There’s just a few things in our every day like that really can’t be recycled.

Everything else can, it will give a huge flow of money and reduce waste to almost nothing.

The song at the end slaps 😊

I applied with these dirty jobs today. Like 8 companies. I'll be disappointed if I don't get hired.

🙏🏻 everyday that Cali will break off float away and sink taking everyone with it

Now. Let's go back through the old landfills and sort them and compost them.

Why don’t virtue signalling California just stop being so materialistic

every city and state should do that

i have no idea why were not doing this in every city and town .

Earth warriors

This is such a great system. I'm going through the comments and it's amazing some countries have 4 separate bins. I'm from India ,I wish such programs are in place. As a climate conscious person, I try to produce as little trash as possible. But it's hard trying to manage our own trash specially non biodegradable stuffs. I garden and I feed my garden with compost that I make from everything compostable. From where I come, leftover foods are given to livestock. Someone who rears pigs in the area gets the leftover food donations. So there's not much food waste. There are scrap dealers who go around buying scraps from households, shouting " loha, Tina, plastic '' which means" Metals, tins, plastic "! But they don't buy everything of those again! They don't take plastic bottles, broken glass, plastic shampoo bottle types etc ! So where do I discard them?!

o goodness i cant imagine that smells to good, but im happy they are doing it

People "Accidently" put in the compost bin huh?? No chance. All those people are just lazy as hell or don't know how or care to follow directions. Mostly, they just don't care about anything except themselves. I see it all the time. If everyone did the right thing imagine how much better all these processes would be. Most people suck!

What about the methane that comes out your butt? Farts are methane which means .....

What do they do with all the plastic that is in the compost? Look at it, there is a lot of it. Maybe they just don't know or care. Probably think plastic makes compost.

I wish they’d mentioned home-composting and the tools required for it , like earth worms .
I’ve been composting for 2 years and I can’t believe how amazing nature is : the composter never smells bad , it never fills up , I get tons of compost on summer , and most importantly I’ve massively reduced my garbage

Too bad there are so still so many idiots throwing plastic bags into the yard waste bins!

As someone who has always been bummed that there wasn't any composting options in my city of roughly 200k people, I finally decided to give it a shot. I know run my own composting business and I'd encourage anyone else without options to start their own too! It's a learning process and a lot of work but it has been so worth it!

I compost all my coffee grounds and vegetable waste. either through insect food or outdoor composting. :)

and not the piss and shit all over the streets ? huh.... not all the needles left about ? hmmmm...

Before other cities follow suit, let’s keep a small bin for kitchen garden and a pit if you have a yard. Methane is 25X CO2 in terms of green house effect.

It makes more sense to have small biodigesters that produce methane with food scraps, which can be used for cooking and captured to run engines, or create electricity, then you still get composting material at the end as a bi product that is just as nutrient rich. I love making jet black compost with organic fruit and veg scraps, as well as trimmings from outdoor non native plants. Thats an entire source on its own that can be utilized to help the environment. Compost invasive weeds fore fuel, pay people by the lb for them. Good use for tax dollars if you ask me.

Solutions is to control population of world

This is amazing. i hope more places will do this，I am very thankful for their efforts. thank you recology workers for all you do for the bay area. please keep educating people how to sort. i see weird stuff in the recycling bins especially.

I know it said they have several techniques to remove inorganic waste, but it seemed like there was still a lot left in the mix. What are the micro plastic levels found in the final product?

Hilarious, this is normal for the last 40 years in europe. The US is truly a third world country.

They get points in my book! I almost throw up wen I take a shit & ppl don't brush there teeth.

“1 ton of waste = 900 lb of compost”…… at least convert the unit ehh?

be aware of dead body, man !

Impressive.

It's extra dirty because they don't even donate them to the homeless.

Full of microplastics!

🤗 she just said she rather food not be produced 🤡 global shortages because of people like this
Shut down supply chains and fucked around bout to find out real soon
ALWAYS BETTER TO HAVE MORE AND NOT NEED IT THEN Less and need more

We’re forcing you to save money, NO you charging people more who don’t comply to your program not surprising stance from SF 🤷‍♂️poop patrol
