Double bagging seems to help sometimes, the only thing that does seem to help is not getting Sam's Chicken > They love it and can smell it double bagged. Eating out at restaurants also helps, but it is a more expensive solution. Some neighbors have resorted to not putting out the garbage until very early in the morning, but I prefer the restaurant solution.

Is there a reason why this food stuff is not put in the garbage disposal? Mine will grind up the bones too. If you live in TV you have a garbage disposal.
