Bnei Brak Municipality to Set up 100 Shmittah Disposal Bins
By Yisraeli Rosner
Bnei Brak will be setting an innovative and blessed precedent for the upcoming Shmittah year: 100 disposal bins scattered by the municipality throughout 100 sites in the city. The initiative is the brainstorm of Mayor Rabbi Chanoch Zeibart and his deputy, Rabbi Menachem Shapira, head of the Health/Sanitation department in the city, who sought a convenient and efficient answer to the problem of the disposal of shmittah produce which has kedushas shevi'is.
According to the plan, special bins receiving the waste products will be emptied a few times a week to a designated area, to be transferred by special trucks to their final resting place where they will be left to fully decompose.
