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.

Using the toilet in this manner is the worst option. You’re sending your trash straight into the water treatment system let alone damaging your building pipes and whatnot, though it sounds like you rent.

I respect the approach and find it fascinating even though I think it’s crazy aha. I don’t think this would be very compatible at all with a lot of people’s cooking habits or hobbies, etc. Or if your apartment complex has an inconvenient garbage disposal location.

And there’s a lot of garbage I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting in the freezer.

How do you handle bathroom trash? I’m thinking feminine hygiene products specifically. Surely you don’t recommend flushing those right?

>Oh, you can also just freaking flush small things down the toilet.

People with this attitude are why the drains in my apartment keep backing up and my landlord sends emails threatening to evict whoever's flushing things they shouldn't.

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)
