Few things are as annoying as a leaking garbage bag.
The brown paper bag under the sink is made to hold wet food waste.
But at a certain limit, it can still burst.
Many of us have been there – the brown compost bag gets wet. At its worst, it not only soaks the floor with smelly liquid, but it bursts and its contents spill out. You want to avoid this, and there are several smart things you can do.
8 tips against leaking garbage bags:
- Let wet food waste drain properly before putting it in the bag
- If the bag is very wet – leave it in the holder when you carry it out or close it tightly and carry it out upside down.
- Take double bags if it is very wet
- Put unbleached paper towels in the bottom to soak up the wetness
- Use the bag holder to circulate the air. Otherwise the bag will break easily
- Only fill the bag to the line so you can close it properly.
- Dry peel fruits and vegetables directly into the bag to avoid wetness from the sink
- Let the coffee grounds dry a little before throwing them in the food waste
