they need to invent a trash can that is similar to a fridge. because it is better sealed and will prevent any kind of unwanted visitors. everyone is paying massive amounts for pest control, and i think it could be eliminated if they change the trash design....so anyways, it works for me. i live in a very busy apartment complex and i keep my scraps from my veggies, fruits, and meats in the fridge til i am ready to toss and havent had a problem. They are very attracted to meats and I think that is the problem, most people dont clean the smell and the scraps....so i was thinking to help manage this system, make fridge like trash cans....anyways, weird pitch the nowhere but it would solve a lot.

that last "the" is supposed to be a "to"
and they are attracted to breads*
keep in fridge
Freezer (less gross because it is frozen)
I freeze my trash. The only thing I'm my "trash can" is paper waste. Keeps the critters away π
ty! me too!!! i feel like nobody knows this!!!!
I learned it from my grandmother. π
my grandmother did teach me how to be clean lol, funny she was in her 90s and she could see a dirty glass from across the room and she was blind....lol
π but did she cover her couch and lamp shades in plastic?! That was a thing for a while in the 60's/ 70's.
I am grateful she taught me how to cook . In college, she would send me jars of her Italian seasoning mix (fresh dried herbs from her garden) so I could make gravy (Italian tomato sauce). I was cooking veal parmigiana in the dorm kitchen π

i dont remember plastic on her couch but another grandparent had their 'fancy' sitting place wrapped up like a museum.
she didn't teach me how to cook but she did make me banana bread without walnuts, because she knew i hated them at the time
i bet people loved you at the dorm!! haha so cute
You can freeze veggie and meat scraps and convert them into broth as a way to get more out of them.
Other than that, composting.

But a limited solution for apartments, of course. It should be standard practice for community-style housing to include composting areas.
I freeze compost before putting it in the bin outside. Would be great if the bin outside would keep everything frozen too π«
I just keep my βfood waste / compostβ container small and in my apartment sized chest freezer
