Garbage and garbage pails

We have a good spot at the end of our kitchen cabinets for the wastecan. When we boondock we take it with us when we need to dump and there's usually a trash can by the dump facility. If not, we have asked the forest service office what to do with it. We have also gone to an actual campground to spend some time after boondocking and we deposit it there. We really don't generate a lot of garbage. We recycle, too. We don't store a big bag of garbage. When we have a small grocery bag full we dispose of it. We can't take it 'home'. We have no home other than our motorhome. When we boondock in Quartzsite, AZ with a large group, someone is always offering to make a 'garbage run' to the town facility which gladly accepts it. We'll also get fuel or go to a fast food place to eat and take our 'small' bag there. Folks are always emptying their cars of trash at the fuel stations. The key is a 'small' bag of garbage only - not a huge Hefty bag of garbage and trash. Recycle and burn what's burnable. By the way, cans or bottles are not burnable. (We've volunteered at parks and have had to clean out ugly firepits of unburnables.) There are also folks who are on vacation for a couple weeks traveling across country and not all go to private campgrounds. They're not going to take it home with them.

Around here, nearly every USFS campground we go to is a "Pack It In, Pack It OUT" area. There is NO garbage pickup. The people in the nearest towns usually don't want campers filling their dumpsters, either, so our garbage goes home with us.
We have a plastic trash container that fits under the sink, lined with a plastic bag. We also have plastic bags that we use to pick up the "presents" left behind by our dog.
We tie the bags tightly, and store them in the dump valve compartment until we get home. During a three or four day trip, we might generate one or two bags of trash. It simply isn't a major problem.

We have a small galvanized garbage can for outside. It has a handle that locks the lid down. I keep it pretty clean and when we leave the house, I keep the duro logs, or charcoal/wood chips in it. In the camper, I just hang a plastic bag off of a drawer pull for trash. I don't boondock, so I can empty the trash every night.

I use a kitchen waste basket that fits under the sink and uses the standard 30 quart plastic draw string garbage bags. We dispose of them as often as they are filled and have never had to keep a full garbage bag in the basement but we do not boondock where a dumpster may not be available. The draw string garbage bags do seal up tight if you are boondocking.
