@sjmcc13 As I said, anything metallic in that age was something you sold to the blacksmith. Metal was valuable, particularly pre-refined. Recycling of weapons (etc.) happened as such naturally simply due to the value, unless it was lost somewhere and couldnt be found (ie. arrow-heads). As for organic stuff, even if it attracts monsters you could safely dump it in the forest, its already filled with that stuff naturally anyway, and is more likely to be scavenged by wildlife than monsters (or simply decomposed). If anything, having designated dumping-points could serve as bait to either cull monsters better, or to keep them away from important areas like roads or villages or farms (or both). Feeding it to a slime that magically annihilates it just seems like a great way to break the cycle of organic waste, and to slowly diminish the country's resources.
@woodfolk It is a bigger problem of sanitation if the city or village doesn't properly dispose of waste, than if a group in a forest doesnt.

I love Ivy already! I also like how it's not like other reincarnation fantasies in which someone "recovers memories" and basically becomes a different person. This seems way more realistic, for a little girl to simply have more knowledge than normal, but still be a mental child.
@feha
ain't village has their own tamer at work, since slime that could digest organic things are very common and many people seem to have tamer skill
that why all adventurers group has their own tamer to deal with waste by law but only high rank adventurers has slime that could digest inorganic things

@eha : you are assuming metals have the same scarcity value as they did in medieval times, in a world with magic that is not a safe assumption to make.
Plus adventurers/hunters are collecting materials in the woods. They will the most valuable of what they can carry, which is likely the magical/useful parts of the monsters they hunted. The stronger the monsters the more likely their materials out value the busted sword metals that would have to be reprocessed.

How did she manage to loose the knife?! Shouldn't it have been in one of her bags when she wasn't using it? (Does the novel give details? Was it an accident? An out-of-character moment of carelessness? The machinations of Fiction-Land?)
@hidamarisou and anyone else involved in the translation:
Thank you for your hard work!
@domo404
What period are you thinking of?! I've never heard of any society that base — and the medieval Europe this setting was based on really wasn't. (The medievalist in me strongly objects to this absurd notion. Well, education regarding the Middle Ages is decidedly less than brilliant, to put it mildly, but still, commonplace defecating the street?!) Back then people would do their business in something called the privy; while it wasn't up to today's standards by any means, they were all but ubiquitous (since few people had servants and since those who had them usually didn't have the numbers seen in subsequent centuries, the chamber pot had yet to gain the popularity it did in from the Renaissance until the development (or rediscovery, I'm not sure which) of indoor plumbing). Thing is, being in a state of undress in public was usually taboo (depending on the location and type obviously), so privies of various kinds were kind of necessary, even if that meant taking a shit in a thicket (this is also how most of the uncivilized groups took care of things). Moreover, while the dumping laws weren't that strict (it depended on when and where; dumping things in the street wasn't exactly unheard of), they typically had some similar laws, usually to prevent problems from things potentially attracted by the waste (mostly extra rodents, but also some wild beasts and bandits) as well as preventing streets from becoming impassible (like I said, when and where). Additionally, some things which we consider waste, they didn't (e.g. scraps of wood were often used for kindling, even small clothing scraps would become cleaning rags, urine was sometimes used in tanning and the processing of felt, etc.). That said, most of this was pragmatic and basically none of it had to do with the environment (at least one English queen consort refused to live in London due to smog… during the 12th century). Please excuse the rant — the absurdity incited it.
@feha
You have to get to the blacksmith first. I'm guessing that the problem is the amount of space in their magic bags: they need to be able to have enough space. That or it's because this is Fiction-Land. Take your pick. Otherwise, agreed.
@sjmcc13
Agreed.

two months late but it's as easy as something rushing towards you while counting and checking equipment and then not having enough time to pack everything or even pick up anything
