My mom always just threw it outside, but I can’t do that where I live. I know I can’t put it down the drain. Do I have to put it in something and let it cool then put it in the trash? What do you do????
I sighed and asked him, "Where's the nearest landfill?"
"Oh come on," he replied, shaking his head. "There's land everywhere."
I’m a housewife, my husband works a 9-5, so I take care of the house all day, laundry, dishes, kids, etc.
I just had a baby so I’m still bleeding and I can’t wear tampons (I can’t wear tampons anyway because I have a tilted cervix) so I wear pads. When I change my pad, I wrap it in toilet paper and usually the wrapper that the other one came in but sometimes just toilet tissue.
My husband always tells me it’s really gross when he goes to the bathroom and can see the bloody tissue that my pad is wrapped in and he doesn’t need to see that.
We got in a fight about it with him telling me it’s disgusting to see the blood and no one needs to know I’m “on my period” which I’m not on my period, I’m bleeding from birthing a baby.
I told him I would start disposing of my pads the way he wants me to when he learns how to wipe better and I don’t have to scrub shit stains out of his boxers.
He told me I was out of line and has slept in the guest room the last couple nights.
AITA?
Edit to add: we have a trashcan with a lid but our dog recently broke it trying to get into the trash. I ordered another on Amazon but it hasn’t come yet, and I don’t have a car to go get one myself.
Edit: I’ve left some pretty emotion fueled comments so I think I’m gonna back off for a little bit. Thank you for everyone’s input and judgment.
A few months ago my Phillips smart TV broke and stopped working. I took it to a local TV repair shop who said it wasn't fixable.
They offered to dispose of the TV for me and I bought a new TV (that wasn't as good, because money is tight right now).
I noticed yesterday that there was some Amazon video purchases that I didn't recognise so I called Amazon and they told me that they had been made via a Phillips smart TV.
It's clear that the TV was never actually disposed of and that it even appears to have been fixed and sold on. Amazon refunded the purchases but I can't help but feel I've been conned by the repair shop.
What should I do? I feel they owe me a working TV, if nothing else but is this something I should go to the police over, speak to them or what?
What the title says, I had a sugar dosaging thing that I thought stated the sugar grams with different measures (0.33, 0.5, 0.75), it thought those were the sugar grams. So I added 4 times the 0.5 as the recipe called for 2g per 0.33l bottle.
Today I thought about bottles exploding and checked the sugar grams that 0.5 was adding as it seemed to much.
Little story short, it was, 3 grams and we added 4 times that which makes it 12 grams per 33cl bottle, 10 grams more...
It seems the 0.33 and 0.5 meant that it was 1 dose for a bottle of either 0.33l or 0.5l...
I guess I have to dispose of the batch, it was my first one, makes me kinda sad...
Personally think it's their best. Great progression from where the band left off and shows Landon changing as a person. The vocals are SO good even if there's less screaming; they still feel so raw and emotional.

In Australia, European Carp are a completely invasive species. I’ve also learnt they’re crazy easy to catch. Today I went on a walk and this lady had two massive carp she had caught on just corn and bread.
I figure, if I fish for carp, it’ll be a good way to learn the basics of fishing while also helping out the Australian ecosystem.
We don’t eat carp in Australia though, so after catching, how would I dispose of the fish?
I just returned home from a one week business trip and as my luck would have it, the fridge broke. The whole place smells awful and I’ve lost all the food in my fridge and freezer.
My municipality just started collecting garbage every two weeks and I’ve just missed the day. We have compost, but the bin is small and already full and it’s only being picked up in a couple of days.
Anyone have any suggestions for how I might safely and responsibly dispose of all of this in Montreal? It’s 10pm so I’ll have to hold it all overnight till the end of curfew - if I freeze it outside will the animals get to it (I’m in the burbs)?
Sorry for sounding so stupid. I’m probably panicking because this is the last hassle I needed right now (rough week with the new restrictions and its effects on my business) All suggestions welcome.
Update: Thanks everyone. After calling, the ecocenter doesn’t take usual household garbage or compost - Longueuil is pretty strict on not accepting more than one bac every two weeks. But they do accept recycling. So I took the bags out of recycling, dropped them off at the ecocentre, and am now using that bin to hold all the food (which is now frozen). I will slowly add them to my compost and garbage bacs each week. We’re going to need to keep cleaning the fridge for a bit to get the smell out, but that’s doable. My big worry was animals getting into the food and hopefully that’s solved now.
There's an alley me and my friends spend time on, but random passer-bys have thrown dozens of cans, bags full of rubbish, takeaways etc. I want to clean it up to make the place a bit nicer to spend time on, but I'm afraid I lack bin space for all of this.
Where could I legally take all the rubbish (most of it recyclable plastics, metals and glass) to dispose of it? This is in London.
Merry Christmas and happy Holiday
Edit: thanks for the replies everyone, I found there's a waste disposal unit within a mile of me. I'll contact them to see if they're willing to take the rubbish, if not I'll contact the council about a pickup near me
Hello, I (24f) am going to clean out my fathers apartment tomorrow morning as he sadly passed away on Christmas day and the council are demanding the apartment back clean and sterile by Wednesday. Although my father was clean for the last 2 months of his life he was an addict who used most available recreational drugs he could get his hands on up til then, mostly crack and heroin.
He lived with a relative for those last 2 months due to his health declining so I know I am probably going to find drug paraphernalia in his apartment as he could no longer clean by the time he moved with relative.
How do I safely and properly dispose of drug paraphernalia that has most likely been used?
I know I can't throw used needles into the bin but could I put them into a tupperware and take them to a local hospital or doctors office to dispose of? Would I also have to do the same for used crack pipes or can they go into regular bins?
Edit to add: I really appreciate all the responses and advice given so thank you. I've been planning on wearing gloves to touch anything I'm unsure of and I know what rooms will be big danger zones. I would have hired a professional service to do this but i dont have the time/money and I also don't want my father to be demonised further by other family if they were to hear his apartment still had sharps when he died. He was clean for the first time in years and that's what I want them to know because it wasn't an easy feat and he deserves that respect. I have to leave to go get this place cleared up.
i learned a few years ago that there's a huge mass of floating garbage in the middle of the ocean.. and i started thinking about how we would go about cleaning that up, and how could we prevent it from happening again?
i understand that trash is a problem but realistically what other ways are there to dispose of things? we can't burn most trash without it being toxic to the air and ourselves.. we can't just put loads of trash in spacecrafts and send it out there..
i have this outlandish theory that one day we'll have to start packing the trash down onto the ground and pour cement over it.. i hope we never get to that point.
I’m curious what others process of disposing hardware is. Outside of data destruction or retention practices how does everyone get rid of their physical hardware? I find the practice of dumping hardware in the e waste been a bit wasteful and often think of others less fortunate who could use the hardware we dispose of. Often time the hardware we dispose of is still useful but just a year or two out of warranty. Is the practice of selling or giving away hardware really difficult enough companies don’t do it?
I’m curious as to what other companies are doing these days especially with the supply chain issues and overall shortness of materials to manufacture new computer hardware.
Without the police finding out. And no selling it is not a option. Also trading is not an option. I don't know how pure it is its not like I am a coke connoisseur. Pretty pure most likely? I don't want to flush is down the toilet or sink. My toilet and sink is really bad. And the septic is full. Also if you are feeling up to it I have one more question.
I am helping an elderly neighbor clean up a farm type property and this man has 500+ gallons of used fish cooking oil in 55 gallon drums. The stuff is making a mess and the old man has no one or anyway to get rid of it. I have trucks and trailers to haul stuff so that's not a problem, but where do I take it to? I have a good relationship with a local auto parts store that accepts used motor oil but I don't know If cooking oil would be allowed with there. Im ok with spending money on something like a fluid pump to get it into different drums on a truck.
My county has a special waste disposal day but it's only one day of the year and months away.
Also if it makes any difference, this oil has been sitting for a long time outdoors.
Greetings all! I consider myself to be a developing kitchen witch and I definitely no longer identify as a Catholic.
That being said, I have an old rosary that was blessed by the Pope back in the day.
I want to properly get rid of it, and the method appears to be burial?
I want to be respectful of this rosary but I also don’t want to do something wrong to attract negative energy.
Can someone suggest how I properly discard the rosary? Should I bury it on my property?
It’s very easy to do this and I’m flabbergasted that it isn’t done yet. For example the alcohol industry regularly recycles its bottles but for some reason it’s not applicable to non alcohol drinks. It’s crazy that the blame is shifted on to the consumer and worse we get shamed if we don’t recycle or litter. I’m not saying I won’t do this but let’s be real here - I ain’t producing millions of plastic bottles- I maybe consume 1 every couple months if that.
If your Business produces trash then I think it’s fair that they be responsible to picking it up too. It’s pretty easy to do this - they know how much they are producing and they should be collecting an equivalent in mass of trash they produce.
Why is the responsibility of cleaning up always on the individual but we overlook the mass producers of trash.
To all Vancouver cat owners, any advice on how to best scoop cat litter? With some searching online I found that no cat litter components should be composted or flushed so I'm trying to figure out how to not waste multiple plastic bags a week for scooping.
I use pelleted pine as litter and have two cats so I want to be scooping frequently. If I can separate the pine dust and poops in a separate container I'm wondering if I can just dump it loose in my garbage bin. I can't find any info online on whether it is ok to throw waste, such as cat litter, loose in the garbage bin for waste collection.
I love my deep fryer, but I don’t want to pay to dispose of the oil. Anybody know anything about this?
Hi all, what are some good ways to dispose joints after you're done smoking without getting caught? I can't keep an ashtray in the house and I shouldn't just throw it anywhere as someone might find the roach. TIA
