How much garbage does your family generate per week? In a week where I'm not flinging, I would say my family generate three big garbage cans full of garbage. I feel like this is excessive since there are only 4 of us, but before I go nutty over garbage, I thought I'd ask you all! (Luckily, we don't pay for our garbage disposal, although I know many of you do.)

We generate way too much in my opinion. I take out a minimum of one white kitchen trash bag per day. Many days or when I'm flinging, it can be much more.

Well, we use wal-mart size bags so I would say we take out about 3-4 of those every 3 days. Diapers add up!

Nope, I think your right on Amy. Dh and I set out two large cans full each Monday...
Dh says we are either dirty or extremely clean..LOL

:yeah: That's us too! :D

It seems like a lot doesn't it! We have at least 1 tall kitchen bag a day! Where does it all come from?

We have 2 big garbage cans full a week.

Before we moved we had a lot. We (just the 2 of us) had about 4 or 5 a week. But I was home at night and cooking and snacking all the time.

Since we've moved here we haven't had to throw out the first bag. I'm sure once we get the few dishes that we are bringing with us up here and start shopping for "real food" instead of sandwich meats we will have more trash.
