Garbage

I have been wondering what to do with my garbage for awhile.

Yes, I recycle, but I can't compost. I live in an apartment so I have no backyard, and my city does not pick up compostables.

But thats not really what I've been curious about.

I have never been one to buy garbage bags. I mean seriously do we need more plastic bags? I have always used old grocery bags to line the pails in my kitchen and bathroom. But since cloth bags became so readily available and many stores (even the upscale ones) are charging for bags my supply of 'free' garbage bags has dwindled.

So what to do?

Continue to get plastic grocery bags every 3rd shop to keep my supplies up? However pop culture would have one believe that using plastic is evil. But that is at least better then buying new plastic bags thats sole purpose is to be thrown out...at least I'm reusing right?

Yesterday though I discovered biodegradable garbage bags. $4.99 for 20 bags for the very small ones (roughly 25cents a bag). So still more then paying for grocery bags which run between 5 and 10cents.

The bags actually seem different then regular plastic. And it says right on the box to keep them dry and inside to maintain their integrity. Hopefully this is a good option.
