I must ask, why do you have so much rubbish for just two of you? I have such
little waste my bin only needs to be emptied every 2nd or 3rd week. That's
me and two teenagers. My recycle bin which is only a fortnightly pickup is
full in a week (plastics, cardboard, paper etc). We don't have a yard bin
where I live now. If we have prawns I put the shells and heads in a small
bag in the freezer. At my old house I had a chest freezer too but that was
out in the garage because of no inside room. I did the same when I lived in
a box of a house, couldn't swing a dead cat there.
