our digs are overturning getting into and generally attacking our
garbage can daily when were not home. heck they will turn it over even
empty and clean. must be their latest hobby.
plus our community is
reportedly going to a single 96 gallon container picked up by machine.
i run a small business here and occasionally generate extra trash.
anyone have a compactor? are you happy? i never had one of these, but
oddly enough have room for it in the kitchen
One of the condo developments that I do work in each had one installed by
the builder 20 something years ago. I am surprised to find that there are a
few still around. Just another appliance to break down and they are a PIA to
clean out thoroughly to get rid of the smell. I have pulled a few out for
customers and they can be quite nasty if not cleaned regularly.
We have a hard plastic bin that we put the garbage bag in and then it
slides right down into the compactor. It was manufactured especially
for our trash compacter, a Kenmore.
Personally I wouldn't want a week's worth of garbage collecting in the
house. Here in NJ we must recycle paper, boxes, cans, and bottles so a
separate container must be used for that stuff.
So where is the problem if you have a separate container for
recycling?
