It occurs to me, that we throw out either food waste or recycling stuff.
What would you throw away that doesn't fall into either of those
categories?

I'd like to get rid of the 'general waste' bin.

No bin in the kitchen, no sorting, no composting anything once it has come into
the house, just a carrier bag, tied up and dumped in the dustbin that takes
maybe six weeks to fill. Aluminium cans get crushed flat and dumped in a
bucket, when its full it gets weighed in. Can't be arsed to recycle anything
else but plastic bottles, that bin gets emptied once a year . With the majority
of my waste going to landfill I feel I am doing my bit for future
archaeologists.
