In an apartment, I’ve learned not to even have a garbage bin. If I have garbage I make a small bag and throw it out, or keep it in the freezer until I go out. Frozen trash doesn’t smell and doesn’t attract anything :)

Of course, this requires you to have less trash , which is very easy if you simply take a few seconds to go outside and throw your food out after lunch/dinner. Everything else is just dry scraps usually. There’s always the fridge :)

All in all, there is no concept of “garbage”, “garbage bin” , or any kind of “garbage accumulation” in my apartments.

Oh, you can also just freaking flush small things down the toilet. Seriously, it’s like a little mini garbage. Only advise this for people with great water pressure (lucky you!).

If I had a backyard, I’d be burning and burying garbage too, man.

Last but not least, never ever buy expensive garbage bags. It’s literally going in the garbage, man.



Erm, was that part about keeping trash in the freezer serious?

For me a freezer is for food, I don't mix that with garbage by intention. (small particles of it will remain)
