  The above waste station was at the Oregon Convention Center. It seems like they’re a bit more stringent (realistic) with their designations. “Food Only” is a good one… this is where it’s at these days- composting facilities taking other than just food and yard waste are running into trouble left and right due to hidden plastic contamination (amongst other things). I think the picture is funny for the “All Other Items” (much more polite than "Landfill")… take that cardboard coffee sleeve off of that cup first!  That’s valuable carbon right there… as is most of that cup… there must be a way to get plastics phased out of paper products. Why?  Because there’s certified 100% compostable paper products for all single use items, and every freaking one of them…
