basically i'm wondering if i can put a bunch of water in the bucket with some chemicals and turn the branches into some kind of goop, and then just chuck that outside among the weeds
muriatic acid used for pools and cleaning concrete ,one gallon should do .after you get done dilute it with water, this should work IDK

mine go into my compost heap along with the soil

use as much of the "waste" as you can making hash, teas, oils, etc...once its completely processed and looks like a pile of green shit, it shouldnt smell...dry it out and get a 30 dollar camp ground fire pit for your back yard...throw some twigs n branches n shit in it and spark her up...no special smell to the fire if its processed and nothing but ashes left
thank you i was beginning to think no one was gonna suggest making concentrates...

i just noticed this was in your first post of the thread...please dont just dump a bucket of chemicals outside...especially some kind of chems that eat up organic matter...this is really bad for the environment and could screw up the whole area where u dump...that shit will leach right into the ground bro...chems should be dumped into your sink so the water/chem mix gets treated before it goes back into the environment or gets recycled...im not tryin to preach or tree hug or anything but i had to say somethin

why hasn't anybody mentioned actually disposing of your trash at the dump? I rent a uhaul truck, pack that thing full, drive to the dump and drop it off myself. It's pretty cheap, and avoids you littering, or illegally dumping your trash. Cmon folks...

Strip the leaves, bury them at the edge of your property in a shallow grave. Chop up the sticks and toss them with the rootballs somewhere inconspicuous. I would not take the risk of hauling it to the dump. I mean, who is going to comb your property looking for sticks and roots from pot plants?

I'll just leave this here. It's the first result when you Google "How to tell if my neighbor grows pot".

^ That pdf is anything but a 'fact sheet' Marijuana is not a chemical and never should be used in the same context. Marijuana addiction is not phyisical. Anyway, im with the guy who uses everything possible, that means there is no 'waste'.

I just use my normal trash can. Nobody is going to waste time and money to go thru my trash. I'm just not that important. Black trash bag and into the regular trash can .

Make a compost heap in your backyard.
Dry it out and burn it.
Rent a wood chipper and turn it into mulch.


There isn't much in the way of chemical processes that will destroy plant matter quickly. Cellulose is tough to break down, the bacteria in a compost heap specialize in this. After a week the material will be unrecognizable.

IMO you are worrying too much. If the cops are on your property looking for stuff then they likely have a warrant already and they will find your grow. If they do happen to be in your yard for some other reason (this did happen to me not long ago ) they aren't going to pay attention to a pile of rotting weeds especially if you cover it up with other stuff.

I just throw my stuff in the trash on the day they pick it up. I don't see the cops picking through my trash to try and find a small grow.

sometimes i'm really careful when i throw stuff out, sometimes i'm not. i like to keep all the leaves etc laying out until they are dried up so there's no smell. i crumble them into dust. i then throw them and the cut up stems into those garbage bags that are used to control odor, and throw this bag into a bag of normal garbage, making sure nothing has my name/address on it. i then wait until the morning the garbage guy comes by to put them into the big can. they are in the can for about an hour.

getting rid of 50 gallons of soil is a bitch i bag it all up and just throw out a few bags at a time! pain in the ass!

I've got a section of my yard with a lot of ivy/vines that I dump old soil into. For rootballs and stems I'll break them down with my hands and throw them in an old coffee grinder and again, just dump it outside. I just hold onto my shake in brown paper bags and eventually a friend will take it off my hands. Why, I really don't know, but it saves me from dealing with it, heh.
