[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back up here. Do people really take the garbage out everyday???![/quote]

Yes... you mean you don't?

Pest control is my primary reason-- any roaches, mice, or pantry moth larvae stopping by would appreciate a nice after-the-house-becomes-quiet buffet, otherwise. Food gets wrapped up and trash gets taken out before we turn in. The smell is also a lot less offensive when you deal with trash promptly. It's not such a big deal.

Nope.  We take the trash out Sunday nights and Wednesday nights because trash pickup is Mondays and Thursdays.  If there is something that might stink, I take supermarket plastic bags (we have hundreds from before we started bringing our reusable bags) and double bag or triple bag the stinky things, tie it shut and toss it into the trash can.  That usually contains the smell until trash night.  Unless the can is full (like for a party or something) or something smells even through the bags, it waits until trash night.  I also Lysol the can before I put the next trash liner in.  Haven't had a problem with every 3 days for the last 20 years.[/quote]
