I recently stopped using trash bags so that I am, officially, a plastic bag free household. Whatever can't be composted or recyled goes directly into my trash can's removeable hard plastic insert. I put a little of my cats litter (it's just ground up walnut shells) in the bottom to keep down the smell and absorb any rogue liquids.

It's gone considerably better than I anticipated so far. Has anyone else tried eliminating trash bags? If so, how has your experience been?
