I totally agree with you. No one has thought to mention the tuff hefty/glad bags with drawstrings that folks store their real garbage waste to put in outside waste cans. I use my paper bag from the grocery store to put my under-sink garbage in, and then into the outside garbage can.

We could line our outside garbage cans with newspapers each week like my Dad did back in the 50's before Glad was invented. Then we could dump garbage scraps directly into the cans. Then the garbage men would have to peel out all the mess by hand, or maybe not.
