I also can't see spending $20 on a garbage bowl.  I use a throw away plastic bag (like the kind you get at a grocery store)  each time I have scraps, tie it off and take it out to the main garbage.  No extra cost and the end result is the same.

There's no reason anyone would have to buy a garbage bowl. Doesn't everyone have bowls in their kitchen? Use them.

For me , plant scraps  are put out in a bucket  next to my back door then  are discarded in  my yard compost pile daily . Meat / fat scraps  go in the trash . I can't see letting all that waste  sit in my home  to  attract  bugs and odors .

I remember my mother in law had a garbage bowl. She lived in an old farmhouse with no garbage disposal and I think they took the scraps out to the hogs.  They didn’t have any kind of trash pickup. 

I put everything that cant go down the disposal into a plastic bag (and add to it during the week) and then into the freezer (to control odors) until garbage pickup day.

I have what I call a "composting" bowl. It contains egg shells, coffee or tea grounds, vegetable peelings, and the like. No meat or actual eggs. I keep it in the fridge and twice a week, I'll take the full bowl up to our Mantis composter and dump it into the compost. Add grass clippings and leaves in the fall. It usually takes about three weeks to have a good bit of nice compost for the vegetable garden. Between our compost and our recycling, our trash is almost non-existent.

Now, if somebody could come up with a good way to re-use used cat litter, I'd do really well!

We have the same, just an old red bowl, picked up from somewhere years ago, we call it the ‘composting’ bowl.

Every night it is emptied into the closed composter.

Lordy, I Too wish there were an easy to recycle cat litter.

Garbage Bowl????  WT

Most of ya'll need to purchase the "SimpleHuman" trash can if worried about smells.

Agree w/Sharke 110% 👍🏾

I have a small container on the floor  that has a bag liner... has a step on pedal to open the lid.  Everything stinky  like onion skins etc...or wet or smelly goes in it each day.  Each night the contents goes into the outside garbage. Start each day with a fresh bag. 

I have a large garbage too...only non recycling, dry garbage goes in there...nothing that spoils. 

I can not image combining all the garbage into one container!  It would STINK💩

I don't keep or collect any scraps for disposal later, and I never use my disposal for veggie scraps since I've had too many clogs. I use a couple of paper towels on the counter for potato peelings, outer onion skin, ends of celery, etc. It all goes immediately in the trash when I'm finished chopping. No fuss, no mess and no keeping any of it.

I drop all my food trimmings into the disposal as I get them....everything else goes directly into the trash can. That goes outside to the bin after dinner. I never keep food of any kind in the trash inside overnight. Had a terrible time with fruit flies once and hated it, so no fruits, vegetables in the trash even for a little while.
