Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Garbage bags are a really handy invention, but they don't always work as perfectly as we'd hope. There are times when that small hole or tear will leave an ill-smelling surprise in our can.The easiest way to combat this is paper. If you place a small amount of it in the bottom of your trash bag, it can soak up any leaks from your garbage. Use newspapers, paper packaging and other paper materials that are able to soak up moisture. You could also line your can with an added layer, which can be easily disposed of if it soils. (As an added bonus, you could scent the paper to help curb stinky trash smells.)
But in these days, we should be recycling and taking advantage of composting programs whenever we can, rather than filling our trash. The same idea still applies.
Rather than using the non-biodegradable plastic bags for your green bin, use the brown biodegradable ones. They'll keep your green bin from needing to be cleaned all the time, but they won't protect the bin from moisture, so to curb that, slip in some earth-safe biodegradable paper.
Many green bin programs list the sorts of paper that can be included in composting (tissues, etc.), so just line your indoor bin with the paper before the bag, and then dump it all and start again when the bin is full.
