How tribes are/were dealing with waste? (Feces, food remains or spoiled, etc)
In: 11
Feces you would use a cess pit, sometimes called a latrine. You dig a big hole. Take all your shits there. When it’s full you cover it with dirt and dig a new hole. After a number of years grass would start to grow on there and you knew it was safe to turn up again.
Food waste was pretty always turned to animal feed. Pigs and goats will eat just about anything, including bones. So you can turn all your food waste into bacon. Which is a pretty good deal.
Spoilage, again, pigs and goats probably didn’t mind. Otherwise throw it in the compost pile. It’ll be useful next year as fertilizer.
There’s no true “waste” everything can be repurposed. It’s just that today it’s cheaper to just get new and discard the old than it is to actually reuse.
