    is that a standard white kitchen bag that is a bit smaller than a black outdoor can liner? If so my wife and I are doing horribly. Its more than one a week and closer to two. That is with seperating recycling so if you include recycling we fill a super large contract type bag every week. Granted the recycling company instructs to not crush things because I believe they want to jack up the money they get.

      Yeah, the standard white bag. We produce probably a bit less than normal blue bag of recycling a week. But basically all our food scraps go into either our own compost or the city compost, so we fill up a lot of compost bags. We also flatten our cardboard and tie it in a stack, so that cuts down on the volume a lot.

        ah yeah. our city does not compost and we don’t have something to do it. We flatten cardboard as that is the one thing the recycling company allows. Yeah compost would reduce it a lot.
