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.
Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?
Alenalda@lemmy.world 2 months agoI 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.

Five people makes a little more sense. Serious question, what kind of bugs does garbage attract where you live?
