Who can live like that? having to bend over and open a door every time you want to throw away a wrapper. And then what do you do when you need to toss a pizza box or something?
i always liked being in the kitchen and sort of looking/walking around with garbage in my hand surreptitiously looking for the garbage but trying not to draw attention
Then my friend notices and goes "You need the garbage?"
"Yeah man"
"Right here" and they open some random door and out slides a garbage can
Then when I try to find the garbage again I can't and just end up opening all the doors in their kitchen
stepping on my hidden pressure plate, causing the wall to spin around revealing a tiny 1 gallon trash can
This is a hilarious image
"yeah pull on the spine of the guy fieri triple D cookbook to open the bin"

I swear to christ, hexbear, this better not be a fucking trashcan struggle session with people trying to grade others' leftism by what trash system they have.
:felix-trash: Trashcans are bourgeois decadence, true leftists eat all their garbage.
Really don't get how y'all are creating so much garbage. My partner and I have a small can under the sink, and basically all that goes on there is occasional plastics from food wrapping, it takes like 2 weeks to fill up.
Most of our waste goes to compost, the rest recycling. When we have pizza boxes we just put them directly in the garbage outside.
The real question is why are y'all creating so much waste you need to have a giant container of garbage out in your kitchen?
Everything in America uses so much packaging. You will literally generate a pound of trash cooking a meal if you don't deliberately try and buy stuff with less packaging.
Grocery stores in the US aren't that different from Canada. It's pretty easy to not buy a ton of packaging with food. Like do they really need a special bag to put five potatoes in?
They can't blame everything on their shitty country - they can actually choose not to buy things with unnecessary packaging.
Consumers trying to change things that way rarely works.
congratulation you've changed your behavior but it's still happening everywhere else. wonder why
This is a conversation about garbage cans comrade, we're not talking about fixing the North American Packaging Problem.
When I lived somewhere with no recycling service, I'd flatten and pile up my cardboard and take it to the recycling center every so often. I'd sell my crushed aluminum cans and any steel cans/scrap to the scrapyard too.
But that is all individual consumption stuff and that's what liberals are consumed with. Under a better system, none of this would matter.
be American. Literally just one weekend night of existing as a five person family fills up half the recycling bin
everything has so fucking much plastic and shit
What kind of compost setup do you have? I liked my friends composting setup in the sticks. Essentially a metal bucket for all organic waste that goes in a bigger bin just outside then into a big composting pile when that fills up. In an apartment I'd probably need to put a compost bin on my porch and that wouldn't be super nice.
I wish municipalities had better trash services. Idek if my apartment complex has municipal trash or just a contracted service.
We keep an old plastic bin (like you might buy pre-prepped greens in) in the freezer for most things, and a ceramic pot next to the sink for coffee grounds. We have a composter in our yard for our vegetable garden, but if we didn't we'd be doing the same thing and just putting it in the city greens weekly pick up.
Edit: our town stopped doing weekly garbage pickup to promote producing less waste, now does garbage every two weeks. They do green waste pickup every week though. It's a good system, if your household is producing more than a bin of straight trash every couple of weeks they are fucking up.
Lol yeah of course everybody who has a vegetable garden is rich American leftists stop being babies challenge
What a dumb thing to think. Has it been a few years since I've gone to bed hungry? Yes, almost 10. Do I have money and/or assets? No dawg I do not. Can my partner and I afford a home or a child? Again, no.
If you don't like me fine but this attempt to discredit me because you can read the Matrix code about my life is weak af.
Incredible. My partner and I rent a 1 bedroom suite with a yard because we were evicted last year because the landlord's son wanted to move in. Could we afford a two bedroom? Could we afford to live closer to our old neighbourhood? Could we afford this one bedroom if we weren't splitting it? No on all accounts.
This is obviously a stupid conversation, but yeah for some reason struggling all my adult life and it being so god-damned hard all the time and finally getting out of debt this year so late in my life for some reason it hurts in a surprising way for you to so casually assume I'm rich.
I'm out, I'm going to go eat some of these refried beans I've been making. I hope you have a good weekend comrade.
edit: soz didn't read to the end where you said you were done have a good one
I think you are misunderstanding the nature of said garbage can. This isn't a small can under the sink, this is a special cabinet installed in the kitchen that slides out revealing one, sometimes two, full size bins.
edit: just reread the post and it literally says small bin under the sink. Looks like I'm the one who misunderstands.
I'll go dig through my trash can now and list the things in there.
genuinely hate these people, if we ever find them on chapodotchat we should ban them
yeah it's like "Dude, I'm in your house for just an hour, and I've already had to throw two things away. You live here, actually have to cook here. you cope with this? how is this acceptable to you?"
haha I'm joking, I actually had this setup when I was living in an 12x12 ft studio and the only option was to put the can beneath the sink.
But I totally agree with you, anyone who does this out of personal preference is a psychopath.
Ooh look at fancy pants over here with an extra square foot of space 🙄🗑️🔥
You just pile the pizza boxes in a corner until they start taking up too much space.
My roommate literally does this and it drives me insane :ohnoes:
those people don’t cook.
This is ridiculous. More like you don't compost and throw all your green waste in the garbage for no reason.
I have a plastic coffee container on the floor for compost. It fills up every week or two. If I decided it was too low I would set it on top of a 5-gallon bucket.
I'll take it one step further: if you have a big middle of the kitchen floor garbage can and it ever has a lid on it you're still not living hard enough
Lidless full size industrial garbage can. It is in a corner though. It's a three person house and we're on different schedules so like six meals at least a day are made there.
ok i will have to really look into composting i guess. I had absolutely no idea you can compost an entire pizza box wtf
