What is your prepping plan for trash?
Trash for thought, as this dawned on me the other day:
What would you do for waste disposal in a SHTF or similar situation?
We talk about using supplies, packages, cans, etc, but what do you do with those when done? Assume there won't be a way to get rid of trash that wont compost nor burn. Do you just pile it up outside? Will it attract unwanted animals or pests?
In some places, dangerous animals would be attracted. In other places, smaller animals (an dperhaps buzzards) could potentially be captured for food; so it could attract and be useful.
Growing up on a farm, we used to toss most things in a 55 gallon drum and burn them, and then eventually empty it out. Then eventually bury or haul off what was left, or simply toss it in a pile that is out of the way.
Was just curious about what others are thinking or have planned, if anything.

Great comments!
A reduction of personal trash would occur quite quickly for a lot of people.
Recylce and re-use what you can, treat trash as a resource of materials, depending on what it is.
Glass and plastic containers can be re-used (we've used jars for drinking glasses, for example).
Combustable materials do make good fire starters, and fire for cooking and/or warmth is an important asset.
I guess, just don't pile up a bunk of cans and trash in the front yard so that people can see that you have food, and it's there for the taking!
