I recently stopped using trash bags so that I am, officially, a plastic bag free household. Whatever can’t be composted or recyled goes directly into my trash can’s removeable hard plastic insert. I put a little of my cats litter (it’s just ground up walnut shells) in the bottom to keep down the smell and absorb any rogue liquids.
It’s gone considerably better than I anticipated so far. Has anyone else tried eliminating trash bags? If so, how has your experience been?
We haven’t used bin liners in years, it was really a pretty easy thing to stop. We try not to put liquids in, and in general don’t have any issue with smell. But the bins are plastic, if they smell we just wash them.
