You keep the bag in the trash can until its full. Then you take it to the outside trashcan. On garbage day, you wheel that trashcan to the curb.
Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?
Nemo@midwest.social 2 months agoWait, you keep your garbage inside until pickup day? That’s gross.
As to cooking: hot oil or water, slipping and falling are much greater dangers. That said, I cook barefoot all the time.

I only fill up a trash bag maybe once every 2 weeks. I only take the can down once a month since there’s so little waste. Between composting and recycling there’s so little that actually gets thrown out.

But you don’t take the compost or recycling out daily, either? I also compost and recycle, but rinsed recycling and cardboard are the only waste that stays inside overnight.

I have a closed 5gal bucket that I empty once a week and keep the recycling in spare cardboard boxes and take them down the street to the center whenever I get enough to fill my car

You empty your garbage every single day? How small is your trash can? That’s a lot of bags.

Five person household. By the end of the night, it’s always at least three-quarters full. Plus, it beats attracting bugs.

I’m envious. My retired neighbour is like this. Me and my partner and our various animals produce so much waste, I can fill a “recycling” bin and most of a bag each week.
