In local news for the home eater, the city of Seattle has enacted a new ordinance prohibiting the disposal of food or compostable paper, including pizza boxes, paper napkins and paper towels, in the garbage. This will save an estimated 38,000 tons of waste from the landfill each year. Single-family properties whose garbage contains more than more than 10 percent recyclables or food waste by volume would receive a notice on their garbage container and a $1 fine would be levied on their bi-monthly garbage bill.
