Garbage: any hints or helpers or trash tips
We always leave a place cleaner than we found it. I'm not ranting about trash or how messy some people are. Not the purpose. What I'm asking is simply: what have you found to be the best way to deal...

It really is a toss up....packaging that you can throw away, or packaging that you have to wash, using up your water supply.
We recycle our water bottles, so those go back home with us, and really don't pose a "threat" with regard to wild animals, so we can put those in a 5-gal pail outside the RV.
We try to keep it low-tech...using packaging that will crush easily (as compared to tin cans), so that it will take up less space.
Fortunately, we're not really 3-meal/day eaters......rather going for a Brunch and dinner, so that pretty much eliminates about 1/3 of our trash too.
Since we haven't taken a long trip yet, I can't speak for long term trash, but we're usually good with a single 30-gal kitchen trash bag.....if need be, we'll just take it home with us.:)
Definitely agree that we should (and we do) leave the campsite better than we found it. Years in the Boy Scouts pretty much drilled that into us:B
