Question
Hello, Is it permissible for a person to empty a plate into the trash on Shabbat using cutlery? Or alternatively, by banging it repeatedly against the sides of the trash can at an angle to remove the leftovers?
Answer
Hello
Both methods are permissible.
Whether by the first method or the second, it is considered indirect handling.
