OK, this was weird. I went to the curb and looked in the bin to see if the truck had picked up the #recycling yet, and discovered that overnight someone put two gallon jugs of badly spoiled milk in there. The jugs were bloated almost to exploding. If they’d gotten into the truck, they’d have burst and the whole load would have been unusable. I gingerly fished out the jugs and got them to the compost heap without incident. I poked them with a tomato stake and they released a Lovecraftian version of cottage cheese and a smell I don’t want to experience again. A thick layer of shredded dry leaves on top. /Bon appetit/, little micro-buddies! #composting
