I have an apartment where the dumpster is a car's drive away, and taking trash down involves 4 staircases. What is the best way to ameliorate this situation?
i cannot possibly express how much of a gigantic pain in the ass this is; it's making more more slovenly than i want to be because it's such an inconvenience to throw stuff away.
like should i buy a hand truck? that wouldn't help for garbage bags
Get a compost bucket for food waste rather than tossing it in the trash. Even if you dont compost it, separating food waste from trash means you can bring just the bucket to the dumpster when needed and it wont stink up a half full garbage bag.
If you buy things that come in packaging ask for scissors or a knife at checkout and cut off the packaging before leaving a store.
Dont order shit online, again seriously if you dont buy a bunch of junk from Amazon (even though I linked it) you wont have all that packaging that needs to be trashed/recycled.
If your not buying trash/packaging, and not bringing it home then you wont have to take out that same trash.
