just do as I do and burn everything that will burn, after all Global warming is natural you know
What really gets my goat with this idea is, the vast bulk of my waste is cat litter, its havy its gravel (ie ideal for landfill!) but it's going to cost me an arm and a leg aswell as every other cat owner in the coutry.
