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

Need to buy another freezer just for that purpose,  Yarn!!

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 ......

   Sometimes just not the cutout food...and also the unfinished (cooked) food and bones and sauce etc...basically just the left over...

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.
