Quick Tip: Put Your Trash in the Freezer

It may not be every day that put your trash in the freezer, but perhaps it’s about time that you start.  

No, I’m not suggesting that you stuff a full garbage bag in there…just a few of the stinky things that, if left in your garbage can, will very quickly present you a less than fabulous odor.

So, pick a spot in your freezer for stuff that you might find in your fridge or after making a meal:

•  Fish bits and other seafood

•  Spoiled food

•  Raw scraps

Put the offending food items in a Ziploc or other plastic bag and label it “trash.”  On garbage day, simply add the frozen – and non-smelly – trash to the rest of your garbage.

No odor, no problem.
