A year or two ago it seemed to me there was a story in the NY Times about New York City Restauraunts illegally (some of them) dumping their waste in the sewers, mucking up the works. Not that this is the same issue, but aren't there any regs against putting such waste in the dumpsters in such amounts? >(I'm working on them, hoping they'll let me take it instead). >The local Walmart is being charged, but won't let me take it because of fear of >liability issues.

My angle would be as a trouble-maker for the big guys who are needlessly doing the wrong thing. So, it would be less important to me to know of how to buy it from small guys in my own community than to know of specific large companies who are needlessly mucking up the works (literally) by not availing themselves of the most enlightened possible policies (not to mention costing their shareholders money by paying others to haul it away, rather than getting full value for it). If a company like McDonald's or Burger King, for example, does not have enlightened policies in place, or has not put test programs in place with all possible earnestness, then this needs to be brought to light. It's always hard to bring the waste-to-useful-product angle to light, but it has to be done, I think. Thx for the response, I should add, it is part of the picture I was looking for. ------------------------ Yahoo!
