Bag the garbage, bag the...well you get it. One munch through the plastic bag and their is dinner or breakfast for a furry crowd. . IMHO
......Just as a FYI........IF you pour or spray a little household non-sudsy AMMONIA around the bags ON YOUR CONCRETE the "critters" simply will NOT mess with your garbage. Has worked for me for over 50 years...have NEVER had my garbage "torn-up" by the hungry varmints....( EXCEPT for the ONE-time I ran out of ammonia )
