Question/Help Safe to throw in the trash?

2 Upvotes

I want to regularly redo my habitats and so far I’ve just been taking a small patch out into a new habitat before cleaning the previous one.

So far only small slimes have developed and I just threw them into the trash.

Now I’ve got a ton of slime in my new big habitat but there’s also some mold adding ugly colors so I want to redo it finally.

I’m just worried that throwing this much into the trash that it may grow out of there especially since waste services have been doing a bad job lately sometimes skipping a week.

Is they any risk with having a large blob disposed into a humid and dark garbage container for possibly a week or a little longer?

Have you ever had one of your slimes grow out of the trash or what’s your experience with their survival once they come in contact with your trash?
