True. I usually put ours out by about 9:00 PM or so the night before.
We freeze waste items that could cause problems if the scent gets out (meat and fat scraps, bones, cantaloupe rinds, banana peels, etc.), and double-bag the lot just before I put out the garbage. It stays frozen at least to the point where it doesn't begin to smell by morning. We've only had a couple of issues (crows) and that was some time back.
