三天前洗桶, 開始放入果皮、廚餘。(咁啱第一天是青口, 蟹, 帶子...)
三日, 就咁多蟲四圍走, 爬到上桶頂, 奇臭.
city 搞埋啲咁嘢。
真係想死!!

It's a mess...
Nowadays Vancouverites used newspaper/flyers to wrap the garbage and disposed them in a separate freezer until the garbage disposal schedule date.

I have to buy the kraft bag with liners from costco to put food scrape. So far so good. No bugs no smell (or minimal smell).
But why am i spending extra $ for the stupid rule...
Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of recycle but how to execute this idea is another question. City should have provided us those decompose bin and then things will be done properly...
You know...on the garbage disposal day even all green bins are covered the garbage smell is all over....disgusting...
I just hope it doesn't attract rat...


And not to mention the regular garbage get collected once every 2 weeks. Diapers (and woman stuff u know what I'm talking about) STINKS.....

If you think Vancouver is bad, take a look in the suburb area,
West Vancouver,  Port Coquitlam and beyond:  the green cans
are fav  for  ragoons, skunks and even bears.
Lots of green cans are opened  and upturned at night and
food scraps spill  everywhere, the next thing would be rats, crews....

This is what I think.....
Flies are able to get inside and lay eggs..

This is what I am doing now...
So, I used a black garage bag to cover the top of the green can, so flies can not get in...
And I also used a fly trap attach to the garage bag to kill flies.....

keep them (esp seafood, meat and bone) in the freezer until collection day.

我用五層報紙包住, 都唔得.

如果用freezer, 咪將啲餸味, 污染晒啲凍肉, 唔係樣樣都可以真空pack.

咖啡渣最厲害, 不需一天就開始發毛.
加上其他果皮餸尾, 兩三天就足以把city個膠細箱, 內發毛至結成一舊. 所有東西連成一大塊.

睇嚟都係用番自己後園個堆肥箱, 仲無咁臭, 年尾有花肥用.

唔係啲fly飛入去, 啲農產品(果皮, 菜葉, 瓜皮..啲頭頭尾尾)根本就有,
試過用密封的膠袋載, 無fly可以入去.
隔一兩天都會有蟲生出來, 而且大得好快.

i put the compost, which is wrapped in newspaper/paper lunch bag in the freezer, bring them out the night before collection, so far so good

the freeze doesn't have any foul smell, but it occupies the precious space with the average size freezer

no more fly/mosquito/warm since switching to this approach
作者: somewhereintime    時間: 2013-9-12 14:45

Need to buy another freezer just for that purpose,  Yarn!!
作者: low_B    時間: 2013-9-12 16:36

Omg...spend  money on the freezer for that???....I know that make a lot of flies....

what's the problem of putting food (or cut off from original food) in freezer?
I wrapped mine in newspaper and then put in plastic bags (2 layers) and they seem ok.
I collect all green garbage in a small container and do the wrapping and adding them into the freezer daily (so they don't get bad before I put them in and thus don't feel as "garbage"). I only take them out on the day I am going to the farmers market and put them in the green drop box there. For things like coffee, it's better to put them in your own compose. I wish I have a compose bin but it's impossible inside an apartment. (or on the tiny balcony)

I tried to use mothballs to get rid of insects.
Put mothballs inside a stock and ties it to the green can .
But the disadvantage is the smell of mothballs is very strong ......

I usually pour sauce down the sink (... may not be a good practice) but then they are easier to handle. As long as they are not wet, it's easier to store.
Anyway, I don't have a family so I don't encounter the same problem as you guys who has more than 2 in the family.

I eat most of the leftover ... except bones LOL. I guess I am a "green bin" too.

    Even I separate all the food scrap into the green bin, my black bin is so smelly after 2 weeks (from the diaper I guess). I have to put "dettol" to and air for a few days for the smell to go before I can put garbage again.
