damian 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 If I had 5 very large water melons that required disposal, would I put in with the burnables or non-burnables? Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Burnable - u gotta think 3000degree furnace burnable rather than backyard burnable. Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Sure, 100% Burnable! If you want to recycle them, you can make suika pickles! Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Wow! 5 very large water melons must have cost you at least 30,000 Yen! Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 where do you shop??? not more than 5000 for 5 at the supermarkets I frequent. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 I have not actually bought any WM's. This was a 'just in case' question. best to be prepared. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I voted burnable but after thinking about it I would change my answer to neither of them. Composting would be best. Link to post Share on other sites
Antonio 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I have more trouble trying to decide what should into the "cans" bin. Obviously coke cans etc. no brainer there. What about tins of bake beans etc? what about alumium foil used to wrap food? what about odd bits of scrap metal - where do they go? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 what about me big wooden bed frame that I managed to utterly destroy with one well placed very angry kick? Link to post Share on other sites
Chancey 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I seriously thought this was a trick question. No offense inteded but why would you put a WM or any fruit in non-burnable? I agree db, about the cans, etc. My neighborhood is kind of strict and occasionally my gomi gets rejected. In most cases I don't for the life of me know why. so I wait 'till next week and put it in the gomi place at the building next to mine (the whole neigborhood seems to have picked this particular spot.) Oh, and I'm not kidding, there is a bed in there! Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted August 2, 2003 Author Share Posted August 2, 2003 Why? Well lets say 5 WM's = 4 litres of water. Would you put 4 litres of water into burnables? You see, you gotta be smart. Like I am. Link to post Share on other sites
Dokumanju 0 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 i would take them out to a field sumwhere...then go to work on them with a bat...or maybe my ninja moves. of course, that's only what I would do...it's 7 o'clock at night and i've just woke up.u could always plant them...u know, give them the gift of life.

Chancey 0 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Well, db, no, I wouldn't burn watermelons at my own home. Are you recyling your own aluminum or using the city sanitation services to collect your disposable goods? If so, you've probably got 3 choices of what to do with them; burnable, plastics, or cans/pet bottles. If you live in a more inaka area it might get more detailed like which color of glass, etc. So assuming your not living on the farm and have limited choices, were you really stumped by which one to make? Like I said, I didn't mean to offend. I thought the secret surprise answer was going to come up NON-BURNABLE and I'd be shocked about some new crazy city ordinance or something, that's all. So much for common sense. Link to post Share on other sites
