So I know some hair may be donated for the making of hairpieces or the like, but…I don’t imagine the same can be done for shavings/trimmings, nor do I imagine most cut hair is donated…

Is there like a massive hairball section of waste treatment facilities for shaved/trimmed hair?

    Some cities / municipalities also do “thermal treatment” aka mainly burning/incarcerating the normal non-recyclable household waste. Depends on where you live.

    But I have to agree. Compostable stuff should get composted. Not end in a landfill mixed together with lots of problematic materials.

        lol. thanks for pointing that out… minor differences… I’m not going to edit it, I got most of the characters in the word right.

        Edit: Although… If someone works in law enforcement, please do pay attention to those subtle differences while dealing with prisoners.
