Since I live by myself I tend to generate only a small amount of garbage each week. At most, I might fill up 1 regular sized kitchen bag.
This presents a problem when it comes to perishable garbage like chicken trimmings and produce items. If I throw it in a partially full garbage bag, I will probably take the garbage out before the bag is full. This is wasteful and results in my using more garbage bags than I need to.
So what do I do?
I freeze my perishable garbage. Yep, yep I do.
I keep a plastic bag on the bottom shelf of my freezer and fill it up with 'smelly garbage.' When my garbage bag is ready to be taken out, I take the bag out of the freezer and toss it. No mess and no smell!
