What do you do with your feeder waste?

[Andrew21]

Even with my small breeding project there is a lot of waste that is produced every week. I've been taking it to a dumpster outside my house, but I think there would be a better way. I would like to be able to burn it but I'm not sure that I can seeing how I live in town. I also don't have a garden or the room to just compost it. What does everybody else do?

Feeder waste goes out with the normal trash here... I generally have one 30-gallon trash bag full every week from my colonies.

I double bag it and throw it with the regular trash.

Same unfortunately. I don't like throwing things away, I would rather make use of it such as compost.

Goes out with regular trash. Although I do have the room and do compost other manures, rat bedding won't be one of them.

I live on 4 acres so it's not an issue. It makes great compost too.

I have a large field behind my house. All kinds of critters there. I just throw the mouse over my fence, something will eat it that night or the next.

With the high ammonia content is it really a good compost?

Im jut imagining the grass in the middle of summer when a dog has pee'd in a few spots an the grass dies because of it..

This is pure speculation tho so feel free to correct me

in Germany we have a 3-bin system, one for paper, one for organic waste, one for the rest.

so here stuff like this obviously goes into the organic waste bin, it will either be used for largescale commercial production of compost, or (nowadays more likely) it will get fermented to produce organic gas for a powerstation, then get sterilized, and then distributed to farmers and used as fertilizer.

its unfortunate when the only option you have is to put it into the regular trash, because it needlessly increases the overall volume of trash and still contains a lot of energy. Maybe you can find a recycling company or gardening company or organic gas powerstation that will take it in for free.

I have a huge pile composting. It makes "okay" mulch to cover areas if you want, it'll break down eventually.

It gives "fluff" to dirt i you turn it in good. If you have clay heavy soil it'll enrich it. The ammonia isn't a real issue so far in my experience. Once it's set in a pile the ammonia seems to break down. The waste DOES smell though, but considering that a compost pile never smells nice while composting, it's not an issue. I would burn it, but usually it's a little too damp to burn well overall.
