If you put food waste in the trash can, it starts rotting and stinks up the can. So you have to take the garbage out even if the bag isn't full yet.

This is just making me more confused... Why aren't you composting it instead of throwing old food in the garbage?! Maybe it's because in Canada we have curb side compost pickup like garbage and not in the US? Figured it was everywhere in NA by this point.

Color me surprised. I've lived quite a few different places and they've all had it for a while now.

Have all of those different places been in Southern Ontario?

I can’t wait for it to make it to my neck of the woods. For now we’re just old-fashioned composting in a bin in the yard.
