Preservation of Shemitah Fruits
Question
Is it permissible to place Shemitah fruits in a location where the placement itself does not cause them disgrace, but the result will be that they are disgraced, such as placing them in the building's courtyard, and when the non-Jewish cleaner comes, he will throw them in the trash?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
It is forbidden to place Shemitah fruits in a location where they may come to disgrace. They should be placed in a location where they will rot on their own, or in a Shemitah bin.
