Friend works in the waste industry. He said if it was a general waste bin then it gets shredded. Sounds a horrible way to go.

Lots of stuff gets found in bins by police, unfortunately once they're emptied its pretty much impossible.
There's a show on TV at the moment (I'll edit this post once I remember/find what it is, think it's on Sky Crime or Netflix) about the body of a man in America that was found in a landfill. There's a bunch of conspiracy theories around it as he was quite high up in intelligence but it seems he suddenly got very confused over the course of a couple of days and spent the night in a bin, his body was found in a nearby landfill but this is in America.

This is actually something I have thought about on a few occasions.

Disposing of evidence in a bin must surely be one of the best methods? It promptly gets collected, crushed, mixed with the rubbish from 100,000 other households, then crushed again, and either burnt or buried with millions of tons of other rubbish.

What are the chances of ever finding anything in it?
I always thought most mixed commercial waste was sorted before landfill, because there's all sorts of stuff in there, eg. metals, e-waste? Or is that only from certain businesses, and other bins are required to only be filled with landfill-able items?

And pretty much every American crime series since the war has the uniformed officer coming up to the dashing detective saying 'we found the murder weapon in a dumpster in the back alley'.... I bet it's the first place the police look!biggrin

Wiki says he did not know he was going to be a Dad. Daughter was born 11/06/2017, he disappeared 24/09/2016.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Cor...

Much as people would like there to be an element of hope as to him still being alive, or an element of mystery to him faking his disappearance, this is a man who was (a friendly) drunk, had been asked to leave a bar, had slept that night for a while in a shop doorway, had a history of sleeping in bins on a night out, and had gone to an area where such bins are stored to almost certainly sleep in one, sadly not realising said bins were collected during the night. It is an awful way to check out, but is the only rational explanation.

He wasn't rich or in a position to have stashed away funds to start a new life, yet his bank accounts and social media are untouched since he was last seen.
