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.
yes! paper plates, plastic jugs, wee-wee pads & cartons from take-out.we have a LOT of trash, not including the amazon boxes
