We do that too. We usually use a coffee can. When the can is filled up,
we snap on the lid, and throw it away. One time we threw out the can full
of used oil, and a Bear came around, got into the garbage and he licked that
can SOOOOO clean, it was like brand new inside. Can you imagine eating a
whole can full of grease? Ever since then we call our grease disposal can
"The Bear Can" .....

My next door neighbor said he spotted a huge pile of bear scat that day!

Would it be practical to eat out at a place with a salad bar for such times
so that you can leave any leftovers for their other customers and still get
a good variety?

There's only one store here with a salad bar. No restaurants. I've decided
it's too expensive to do that except on rare occasions. I do use it when I
make a pasta salad.
