The municipality in my city Linköping, Sweden has actually made a really impressive business model out of this. I pay them to pick up my garbage twice every month, and then I pay them to heat my house by burning that same garbage. And they have me put organic waste in special green bags that are separated from the other garbage using computer vision, making bio gas that I pay for to drive my car on.
- wim 14y agoYep, the system is quite clever, and of course we're also paying for the buses here in Linköping, driving on the same bio gas
- jonke 14y agoI also pay for a second bin to throw garden waste into. I could probably goto Jordcentralen later and buy it back as soil.
- gosub 14y agoIt's like you are selling them an energy source for a negative amount of money.
