We put out bags every week, but not twice a week. We just don't use enough trash to need to empty the cans in the house that often. We also put the barrel out from outside, when it's full from a couple week's worth of grass clippings from the mower and trimmer, weeds from the garden, etc. But we put a plastic bag in the barrel first. And we tie the bag with the cover off the barrel. That's 2-3 times a month, less in the winter.
Our trash guys are terrific and seem to appreciate that we keep our trash to a minimum, unlike some people who have 4 or 5 kitchen garbage bags out there twice a week. Y'all use paper plates all the time or something? I swear I can't figure out how two retired older adults who don't throw parties can accumulate SO much trash all year round.
