    I have several, including one in my kitchen, but I’m not sure how the number of trash cans in my house really changes the equation of “discarded chicken trimmings == really stinky trash can tomorrow”.

      You don’t have separate recycling? With recycling bins & separate food waste collection, our general waste wheelie bin takes ages to fill up…

        We do, and most trash in my house ends up going in recycling. But there are still things that go in the regular trash that cannot be recycled. That is part of the problem actually. Because most things end up in the recycle bin, my regular trash bin takes 8-10 days to fill up. That is a lot of time for some raw chicken trimmings to just sit there making stank, especially so close to where I prepare my food.

          I’ve found it helps if the bin isn’t completely closed off so the trash can dry. But I take it out every couple days, regardless of how full it is

        Nope, but even if I’d did, shuttling all that waste directly from my kitchen to my curbside bin would be a lot more work than just sending it down the disposal.
