Trash Bin That Won't Be Emptied Until Passover

Question

I live in a moshav, and everyone has their own trash bin on the street. I threw chametz into the bin and found out that the bin won't be emptied until the holiday. What should I do?

Answer

Hello, 

You need to render the chametz in the trash bin inedible by pouring a spoiling substance, such as bleach, over it.
