I use one garbage bag 5-8 times. I continuously sort what I can to be recycled then dump the rest out of the bag directly into the bin. The bag will last for two months or so before I need to get rid of it and use it when I dump the trash. Try this?
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoWon't work sadly, my building has a garbage shoot. I can't just dump loose trash down that! (Also feels kind of gross? The point of a small bag is so the trash won't stink up my tiny apartment.)
- blondie9x 8y agoGet a little covered bin for under the sink or something then get a mini bag. U will easily be able to dump it into the chute. No excuses!
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoThere's actually a sign on the trash chute that says not to dump loose items in there. Has to be in a bag of some kind.
- seltzered_ 8y agoI almost never use garbage bags. The trick is separating out food scraps / recycling / non-recyclable garbage. Most of the actual 'garbage' is...plastic bags from packaged food items and dental floss. Disclaimer: I live in a city where composting / recycling / trash is done in separate containers. Even if one doesn't life in such an area it shouldn't stop one from pre-separating anyway even if it gets merged.
