How do you dispose of a banana skin?

[winjim]

Just chuck 'em on the side of the road, same as my gel wrappers.













Only joking of course, I don't even eat bananas.

Goes back into my bar bag and into the compost bin when I get home.

I certainly don't throw them at other road users, whatever I may think of their choice of shorts.

Preferably when there's a group of filtering MAMILs

Ahh... I always eat the skin! I thought that's what your supposed to do.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

I don't usually take bananas on a ride, if I do I'll find a bin for the skin or take it away with me.
Don't know why, because at home it goes in the compost bin, so should be ok to leave it in a hedge.
Interesting link here, it says that banana skins can be fed to cows, goats and pigs and it's good for them.

Hedgerow. Same place I put my Apple cores. All non organic stuff I take home or dispose of in an otherwise proper manner.

This.

From Pat's link I see peels can be fed to snails, but they give 'lower performance' than other peels.

"Fresh plantain peels could be fed successfully to West African snails with no adverse effects but gave lower performance than papaya peels (Omole et al., 2004)."

I wonder how you measure the performance of a snail.

Presumably very carefully.

Mother nature will recycle it in no time at all, so chuck it, it will do no harm to the environment.

... and very s-l-o-w-l-y

What do you guys do with the empty bottles of champagne and the lobster shells?

 

[annedonnelly]

I bring them home for the compost bin - the worms love them.

I expect the rate of decomposition varies depending on the weather but there's a skin lying on a cycle path near me for more than two weeks now. It'd be nice if they at least made the effort to put it in the hedge.

Make wind chimes .

Wrap it around your gel wrappers and drop it on the road to give the illusion that you care about the environment

If I recall, Phil carries a pannier with him, I'd slip it into that, job done

Pls don't. Last time he carried some of my 5hite for me I don't need spare banana skins
