  Jan H & Barry get the star prize.
  -Less packaging,
  -Deposits on bottles,
  -A 'real' return for tins. As with charity donation.
  
  So, what is left, as far as possibilities are concerned? Could food waste be divided between pig-swill and compost? Or is the whole thing worthy of composting?
  If we continue to dig holes what of the mounds of earth etc. then what of the settling down of the waste?
  
  I am ready to be corrected, but is the only stuff not so far dealt with the plastic that is not, at present, recyclable? How much of even this could be obviated through deposit schemes?
  
  This leaves the electronics. At present these hazardous materials are left to the worlds poor to sort through and many of the component materials are rare in the extreme...still a few more well chosen wars here and there might help with that.
  I have heard of people who discard 'excessive' packaging before leaving the supermarket car park.
  The US idea of 'dumpsters' could help in those situations where there is insufficient pavement space?
