creative ways to dispose of pot trash

i dont know if anyone has posted this but one way you can get rid of old trim is to dry it (it dries faster with a fan and/or in the sun) then ( burn it ) or just crumble it all up and just dispose of it somewhere like a field or a roadside, when its crumbled up its not easily identifiable.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but....Do you have a small garden at home?

I found that spreading leaf out under the first 6 inches or so of top soil in my garden took care of my problem. And by the time the next harvest was ready the soil's microorganism's had done their work and were ready to be fed again!

I live in a really close little community, like a cul-de-sac in a village. I had to change all my Hydroton pebbles recently & so went about it like the great escape! I had such a giggle doing it. I'd take the dog for a walk each night with a bin bag of them, roots. stalks and all hidden under my coat. When we got the fields where we go I'd dribble them out all over the place. Next morning I'd be there kicking the little piles of them about - it was comical. Got rid of it all tho & my dog loved it.
Stay safe

The fun way to dispose of Hydroton is with a sling shot. I can't help but pondering how a paint ball gun would work.

Wuzzup guys? First time poster here bringing in the bigballs.

I think the easiest way is to shawshank that shit.

I regularly go out walking around the lake.

You just dry everything out, crush it up, and slowly leak it out your jeans.

Pick a pair that you will wear only to walk with, and put small holes in the pockets.

Stop it up with a little tissue temporarily, and fill with your crushed up junk.

Go out walking, and unplug the pockets.

Done deal!

A garbage disposal works great for leaf........as for stems I would just throw those in a compost pile or bury them. I grow outdoors so I just leave stems out at the site, toss them to the side just like any other stick.

I had a close call one time doing exactly that. If you can help it, never take the shit off your own property -- find a creative way of making it disappear. Use the blender method, use acids or other strong solvents (enviro friendly, of course) to dissolve the plant matter, bury it, feed it to your pet goat, etc etc etc. But if you can help it, never ever drive around with that shit. It's an excellent way to get completely hammered by Johnny.

All you really have to do is get rid of/destroy the leaves. They're by far the most incriminating tid bit. The rest of it -- the stems, the soil, etc -- can be fairly easily dealt with. Don't burn any of it, though...it stinks like weed, for a mile in every direction no less. Plus, a lot of local governments are really cracking down on trash burning, etc. If they see the smoke/can smell it, they'll be there in a heartbeat to bust you for burning without a permit -- then they'll have a little cop wet dream when the realize what it is you're burning.

Whatever way you go, good luck, stay safe. :pimp3:

I agree, I think you are more likely to get poped trying to dump it elsewhere.

stems and fan leaves can be processed to be used as a rub.. or make into a tincture. theres a lot of health benefits of even juicing it.. a friend saves all of his stems and leaves.. and makes a batch of coconut oil.. or veg oil.. simmering and straining. multiple times... this is then given to people who use pot for medical reasons.. rubs. for her friend that came back from the war with no legs.. he says rubbing a salve from the leaves and stems helped him so much its helping him cut down on his opiate intake.. so he can ween himself off all together... don't get me rong he still smokes.. but he took so called TRASH.. and turned it into a medicine.. works great for rubs.. and for any GI Track issues.. helps with inflammation and shit really helped..

i just throw the shit in the garbage. theres too much garbage and too many garbage cans here for anyone to be snooping through your trashbags. just throw the shit in someone elses garbage can. the end. twice a week a big blue truck almost as high as my house will come by and those leaves will quickly be lost in a metric fuck ton of garbage.

ya and that one time. u leave a bill or something with ur name on it.. and someone decided to call the cops and give them a heads up ur growing.. they come by snagging ur trash before the trash guys.. or come dressed as the trash guys. go to toss it in the truck.. marking ur bags.. then pull away with evidence good enough for a warrant to get into your house!

don't get me wrong.. im sure weve ALL done it .. but I reuse all my soil.. wether it be inside or outside.. the trash from the grow I keep 3 barrels.1 for growing shit.. 1 for normal trash.. 1 rootballs and organic material that can be composted..

throw normal trash away. growing shit gets burned.. and rootballs and organic material gets composted.. and reused .. lol

very easy

big stems an fan leaves.. are great for iso wash and or making rubs and salves..

trim is iso or bho or bubble bags or dry sift..

buds are smoked.

if ur smart about it.. there shouldn't be MUCH that u cant throw in trash.. but just make sure ur smart about it. wear gloves. so ur prints aren't on the bags. because cops.. will go the extra mile.. if there trying to get there RANK up.. or if there cousin is your competition grow wise !

the main people who need to worry about getting rid of TRASH.. are the Illegal ops that have over atleast 10 lights up.. smaller ops don't produce much trash if done correctly.. the whole point of growing is to be as eco friendly as possible .. atleast to me.. if I can do it in a respectful way to my neighbors or the other people in the world.. im going to try .

just be safe.. id hate to see anyone go down for some dumb shit..:thank you:

you guys are paranoid as shit, if they have reason to steal your trash you're past the "what do i do with these stems and leaves" stage, i suggest you get outta town fast. also no one has a backyard? dig a hole, fill with organic matter. cover back up. the end. i get rid of my trash as i go, here's my latest creative methods. leaves i use to mulch my plants as they fall off. stems i just break into pieces and toss in the trash when they get dry. or just throw em outside after twisting and breaking them into pieces. who's gonna know that's specifically a weed twig and not just any random one of the trillions and quadrillions of pieces of a fucking tree on the ground at any random point in time. roots and root balls i shake apart and back into my soil mix. i don't grow on any grand scale but i imagine you can do the same thing with a warehouse grow. just depends on how lazy you are.

a lawn mower with a mulching blade does wonders

^ right on! what i've done for years.

ppl are hip to indoor canna grows. don't let anyone see you dump the veg. out into the yard.

if you watch your pennies the dimes, quarters, $'s are sure to follow. ie; sweat the little details when it comes to security.

making a habit of running a tight ship is my method. never know when a little detail can become a big issue.

Be careful of household trash because some cities go through it and recycle the glass and plastics. So, you leave an electric bill with your name on it in with grow trash and whamo. Most big commercial dumpster companies just dump shit - like BFI in the states. Still, just to be safe from ID thefts, cross cut shredding ALL of any papers and tearing off catalog and spam letter addresses and shredding them is a good idea. Get a big shredder so if you fuck up and join AARP and they send you a deluge of spam ( and they fucking will - even a year after you stop paying them) you can just put the whole letter straight in the shredder and be done with it. We saw someone out in the country that was dumping trash and they hopped the fence in a grown up area and spread it out. We went and looked a week later and it was all shriveled up and looked just like the other dead stuff on the ground.

Worm Bin - All fresh feaf and stem can be consumed.

Fire - All stems and dried harvest waste material.

Blender - Anything that comes out the Bubble Bags, then flush it.

No wasted product and it makes nutriment for the next grow!
