While I don't condone dumping your garbage in parks; it sure does start to smell in your garage!

Freeze the stuff that stinks, store the stuff that doesn't.

There are actually centres where you can go and dump your garbage.

Sure they might not be the smartest people, but damn if they can clean up garbage for a living they sure do have guts.

Well, garbage collection is unskilled work. There is next to no training in learning how to be a garbage man - take bin, empty contents into truck, replace bin and delegate all thinking to the union hive. Anyone with moderate intelligence and average physical shape can do it. Why should these guys be making more money and receiving more benefits than people who had to go through tons of schooling and other more difficult hardships (i.e. starting a business)? Sure it is tough, but these guys already have a salary that starts at $ 25 dollars an hour! More than enough compensation right there for the mundanes of the task...

And if the bin is disgusting or screwed up, as you say, the garbage guys can stick a label on it saying that they won't take it. Doesn't seem that bad to me. Also, there is a barrier of plastic protecting you from the contents 90% of the time.

I've found that dehydrating stuff that stinks sometimes helps too :p

Doesn't that process smell? Lol

You guys and your fancy scientific ways of de-smelling your trash.

Well, that's assuming you do that before it becomes garbage, and not after it's been sitting out a while :p
