I found that using bags for compost isn’t really necessary at all. I just dump the container out each night and clean it along with my dishes. It’s nice this way because then nothing is ever actually rotting in my indoor trash.

Having a stainless steel compost container helps with this, as it’s easier to clean and doesn’t retain odors like the plastic bins.

I put my bags + compost in the fridge freezer, which prevents smell and also prevents the bag from biodegrading before I can take it out.

I recommend this approach in general.

3 days are more than enough
