We average about a bag a week also. We are a family of four. We separate and recycle quite a bit though.

Not a lot of garbage as we recycle more than anything and we have been requesting another recycing container as we recycle so heavily.

It's really good to see how well many of us here do. It's also heartening to know that cloth diapers are being used as well and that so many of us seem to not only generate small amounts of trash but also seem really responsible about sorting and recycling.

Family of 6 + 2 dogs + 5 cats.

One can of garbage a week. 2 Recycle cans a week.

Cardboard boxes I collect and either reuse them or give them away on Craigslist for people whom are moving. They'd buy new boxes otherwise.

I use shredded paper as kindle for the fireplace, simply because it can not be recycled and despite requests, junk mail still finds it's way into my mailbox on occassion. Also with my paper statements for my credit cards, there are always more pages than I need for my files... so I shred the rest of 'em.

frankly we do throw a lot of garbage but then most of it is green so I reuse the vegetable peels etc. for my compost bin...on a daily basis there is around half a bag of black bag and almost that much of green bag garbage.....

Only two of us, and we generate about half a bag a week of non recyclables.. plus a bag of cardboard. plastics, cans etc which our local council collect for recycling every other week.

6 kids, 2 adults, 1 dog, 2 cats and a guinea pig. We create about 3 black sacks per fortnight, we recycle all paper, plastic, glass and garden waste.

I was just thinking about all the extra waste products at Christmas. We should all try hard to recycle all that packaging.

[Lyndsey]

About a bag per week, but about 3 or 4 for recycling. I can do better, I know. There is a community compost dump about a block away, but our city cleaning crew was a bit slow this year, so we had very slippery, icy sidewalks to contend with and blowing snow on some days. I'll do better as we get closer to spring.

We started putting seperate trashcans in our factory to recycle wood, paper, plastic etc and we were able to cut down our waste by 70% within a month!
