Garbage and garbage pails

Like second reply.
A trash can with white trash bag liner, under the sink. Doesn't hold that much but stops and campgrounds have dumpsters etc for it. Two people don't generate too much.

I am married to an Italian and she does things Grandmas way. We compost at home so we save coffee filters and grounds and anything like paper towels, napkins and food that will compost in a metal bucket with a lid. We recycle and then have very little trash to take home but it all is kept in 30 gal bags.

Our new MH has two trash cans in the cabinet under the sink - one for recycling and one for regular trash. We use them both, with tall, flexible kitchen bags. I always carry a few large 55 gallon contractor clean up bags. They will hold several of the kitchen bags full of trash and make darned good rain ponchos!

We have a small wastebasket that fits in the cabinet under the bathroom sink for NON-FOOD items only. In the kitchen we have a plastic grocery bag that we fill as the day goes by. We take this outside to the dumpster every night. We have found that if you keep food scraps inside, you attract things you don't want to attract. So - we never leave any dirty dishes or food scraps/garbage inside overnight. We also do not boondock, but are fulltimers.

With a 45 footer you will be most likely in places that have disposal areas. Boondocking I think would result in many calls to tow trucks for removal from being stuck in mud or soft spots.

Same for us, the bags are perfect.

We use a metal trash can with an electronic lid that opens and closes when you get close to it. It uses tall kitchen trash bags. When boondocking we have a regular plastic trash can with locking lid. We transfer inside trash to the out side when full.

Our main kitchen garbage can is a plastic one with a push to pop open lid. Plastic grocery bags fit inside it nicely. I've hunted for another... can only find the metal ones that are not as wide as mine.

But it fits just in front of the fridge and is just short enough that it allows the fridge door to clear it. Two eye hooks and a small bunge cord hold it in place all the time.

Bathroom: Mine fits under the sink. I took a tall metal toilet brush holder, tossed the lid... screwed a few threaded machine screws around the rim (blunt ones, not the pointy wood screws)... to hold bread bags, folded over the rim, in place. For the top I found a plastic swing top from a desk top garbage can and with a little black tape around the rim ... that fits snug. Easy to pull off and push on.

Toilet area: An AIR TIGHT plastic "cookie jar" with a screw off lid and a snap top... holds a bread bag perfectly. Put the bag inside, fold the top of the bag over the rim and screw the lid on.

Ants love garbage cans. You want to empty the kitchen garbage at least every other day.

We use small 2-3 gallon bags and empty often. No need to keep smelly garbage in a confined space. Now recycling can be a problem and there are times I have a 30 gallon bag of cans or plastic by the time I find a recycling drop off.

Some in my neighborhood think that is why windows open:D
