How can I avoid using plastic bags in the household?

Question

I tend to use plastic bags in the trash cans to hold the trash I want to dispose of. This prevents the trash can from getting dirty, smelly, etc. How can I keep the convenience of having a good number of trash cans around the house, but not use as many plastic bags?

Answer 1

try using reccycled and reuseable bags.

Answer 2

Nothing wrong with the plastic bag.   Just when the trash can is full, you dump the contents in the bag out, and reuse the bag in the can again.  No need to toss the bag every time the bag is full.
