I don't have garbage service, so garbage day is when I feel like driving to the transfer station at the county landfill. Usually on Saturdays when I have nothing better going on. Most food scraps that would stink go to the dogs, cats, goats, or chickens, depending on what they are, and I have a big truck and a lot of garbage cans - as long as there's nothing rotting in there, I can go once a month.
