At lunch at work today, an irreligious Jewish coworker asked a religious one why we don't need separate meat and dairy trash receptacles. After all, we separate meat and dairy otherwise. The religious coworker replied that we don't eat from the trash. But the truth is that besides the ban on eating meat with dairy, there's a ban on cooking meat with dairy. And, as far as I know (from laws of Shabas, I guess), that includes allowing yad-soledes-bo meat to come into contact with dairy (or vice versa), at least if it's hot enough to make the surface of the latter yad soledes bo also. So there would seem to be a problem with dropping hot meat directly on dairy in the garbage (or vice versa). Is there indeed such a problem? If not, why not?
