OK... Here's the thing...

The garbage man comes on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I don't have a garbage disposal (nor do I necessarily want one)... Let's say I make shrimp for dinner on Sunday. The tails of the shrimp go into the garbage can in the kitchen. That bag might not fill up for a day or two. Uh... stinky! And when I take to the outside garbage can (in the Florida heat)... yuck for 3 days? So what I usually do is (Does anyone remember the Anal Retentive Chef from Saturday Night Live from 20+ years ago on TV).... that's me... I double bag the smelly garbage (onion peels, fish leftovers, etc.) and deal with it.

A friend of mine just got into composting. All her scraps she takes to a bigass carbon-filtered container in her backyard. I WANT THAT! So I started researching...

And I'm not so sure I care so much about "gardening" and making soil from old food, but what I am interested in is maybe having a kitchen composter. From the ads, it's odor free, etc. and comes with bags that you can dump when you take out the garbage. So I'm considering a kitchen deal... maybe a big garden one later (might be too expensive).

Wondering if there' s wisdom out there? Anyone doing this?
