Where I live now, trash is only picked up once a week, rather than twice.
It is a challenge sometimes. And sometimes, we need to make a clandestine
trip to the dumpsters behind the store. In the summertime, stuff can
really get skanky in a week.

Plus, I have to haul two of the large "cans" 1/2 mile to the pick up
point. Living in rural America has its perks, but garbage pickup is not
one of them. At least not here.

You do have a compost pile though right? That takes care of a large portion
of the vegatative type of garbage.

We have a disposal but rarely use it. Compost pile first, trash second, the
disposal takes care of the little bit that gets rinsed of a dish or
otherwise gets into the sink. I take the trash away as needed though, I
have access to a dumpster.
