No more stinky trash cans

Recommended Posts

   I hate cleaning trash cans of garbage smells. Like cleaning fish would have to be the worst. We also get chicken on sale and marinate and grill it so you get the idea. We could easily dump the stuff in the field,but then the trash pandas come from the neighbors old barn. So we freeze it and on trash day....

I do this same thing after cleaning fish. Throw all the unwanted parts in the freezer until garbage day.

My neighbor does that... I tell her the coons love her frozen deli meat selections better than my stinky rotten offerings... they are more health conscious these days and want the little ones to eat a better, healthier selection of trash... :D

 

But seriously, in the summer It is a good idea, we just don't have freezer space... so, double plastic grocery bag with the dog poop and clean the cans each week... :(

What an appetizing topic!

My cat sitter has instructions in case of death to bag the moggy and place it (lovingly) into the freezer until we return home to administer last rites.

JK.

Raw fish and chicken parts are frozen and saved for crab bait.          All other bios (plant and animal) go in a plastic barrel for decomposing, then get tilled into the garden each spring.

Curious - Any issues with critters when you spread it in the spring?

 

We compost yard waste, but given the suburban area and abundance of coons etc. we've not done the food waste route...

We put anything that rots in it's own separate zipper type bag IN the rest of the trash. Then that bag goes in the lockable barrel. 

Usually a Transfer station trip every 2 to 4 weeks.

I was traveling with a missionary out to some small villages in Asia.  We were expected to eat with the locals a lunch time.  He warned me that I could very well end up with a fish eye (a delicacy in locals minds) in my bowl of soup.  He said that they were pretty strong tasting and that I'd probably not want to eat it.  Fortunately, I didn't have a fish eye and the meal was quite tasty as I remember. 

 

Apparently the video clip attached to this thread is best watched when inhaling or consuming something stronger than the glass of tea I'm enjoying.

A Chinese American friend in college recounted how the kids in her family would fight to get the fish eyes at supper.  Gaaah!
