I don't have garbage every week and that's one reason I requested the smaller
64 gallon trash and recycling bins. One thing I do to alleviate any possi-
bility of smelly garbage is to put meat scraps and thrown away food in
doubled Walmart/Kroger plastic shopping bags. They then go in the freezer
until garbage is taken out for pick up. No smell in the refrigerator or
freezer or in the kitchen garbage can.

Recyclables are picked up monthly here and yard waste every quarter. Yard
waste is to be placed at the back of our property for the truck with the
huge claw to pick up. But all these services are paid for with our property
tax dollars; no additional charge for any of the collections.

Garbage every 2 weeks? I cannot imagine what the shrimp shells and crab
shells, disposable diapers would be like in summer. In FL we have
garbage twice a week.

Garbage pickup is twice a week here. I split the bill with my neighbor
since we're both single and don't generate a lot of trash.

Despite where I live I don't often have shrimp and/or crab shells but
yes, that would get stinky if left sitting around!

No diapers here but I do have to dispose of dirty cat litter. I
definitely don't want that sitting around in the garage for a week or
two. I also don't want to put it in my car and haul it to the recycle
center. They don't have a special bin for cat litter...

The diapers are recycled into McDonalds hamburgers so they're
collected weekly.

Not really. People all over the country have babies that shit in
diapers. Maybe more seafood in coastal regions, but there is all types
of rotting garbage all over the world. I never saw a place that did not
have at least weekly pickup. I don't want to store that stuff for 2
weeks. We do have 2 pickups a week here though.

Organics are picked up weekly in the warmer months when garden waste is
abundant. Diapers go in the general garbage and you are right, stink to
high heaven in the summer. But you can't have everything in life!

We have collections on the north coast of Scotland on alternate weeks -
one week rubbish, the next week recycling (mixed paper, plastic, tins).
Glass isn't collected - we need to take that to the recycling centre.

In NJ, we have twice weekly rubbish collections, recycling once a week.

Shells would be going in the compost bin which is emptied weekly in
hot weather.

Maybe if they stink the parents could switch to cloth diapers - even
those are far more practical than they were when my kids were babies.
My daughters used them for their kids and they are shaped cloth that
fits inside a plastic holder, look like disposables and these days if
both parents are working, there are dozens of diaper services
available.

I can't even begin to think what it must be like in a dump with all
those diapers, what a thing to leave behind. The diaper manufacturers
should have been compelled to make them disintegrating in some way.

Maybe parents could just by washable diapers and eliminate them all
together.

We used cloth ones for my sons. It became a morning routine for me to
empty the bucket of dirty ones into the washing machine before I went to
work.

The recycling ethic has become so well entrenched that they have to
collect every week, winter and summer.

With mine, I didn't have a washing machine, few people did. I had a
pull out boiler with a gas ring below it. Did the job admirably.

We always used cloth diapers for my daughter. They were
retangular shaped. 2 cloth diapers for each use. Wife refused to
deal with them so I washed them every single night until she was
potty trained.

More earth friendly. I had no problem washing the nasty nappies
for months. Labor of love.

We used cloth diapers and used a diaper service. The dirty diapers were
dumped out and rinsed and kept in a covered bin. The diaper truck came,
took the dirty ones and left a bundle of nice, soft, clean diapers.

Our trash is collected once a week, usually early Wednesday morning so
most put it out the night before, but we are up and about by 4:30 AM
feeding cats so that when we put out the two wheeled bins, one for
trash, mostly used cat litter, and one for recyclicables, mostly
aluminum cat food cans and packing materials from various mail order
deliveries; mostly from Amazon and Chewy. We have no edible food
trash, it eitrer gets tossed out for critters or goes into the
composter. We have a choice ot three different size bins but we have
the smallest, the larger two take up too much space in the garage
making it too tight a fit for the two vehicals. I squash all metal
cans flat by stomping, and all cardboard is flattened and tapped.
Sometimes the pick up schedual is changed due to inclement weather
(heavy snow) but they phone by robo-call to apprise, besides when
there's ssnow we know the pick-up will be a day later, sometimes two
days.
We save plastic shopping bags for the cat litter but those are not
nearly enough so we buy them in cartons of 1,000 at BJs for just under
$10. We buy the clear Duck tape fom Amazon, six rolls to a pack, each
roll lasts about a year.

It's nice that they phone by robo-call. I wish our collectors would
do that. It doesn't happen often but it would be nice to know. Our
police and sheriff's department does the robo-call thing for alerts.
I've got our alerts set up to ring cell phone, land line and send
message to computer. The technology is there, why not utilize it?
