Pro tip: If you put a few sheets of folded newspaper on the bottom of a garbage bag as a moisture buffer, leakage almost never happens, except you put way too much liquid into your trash and then it´s your own fault.
Or pour out liquids and rinse recyclable containers, creates less smelly trash/recycling
Yes indeed -sorry if I was unclear- that is what I meant when i wrote
The folded paper is to buffer the inevitable small amounts of liquid that will accumulate at the bottom and sometimes cause a leak, despite putting in as less liquid as possible.
Sometimes that's advised against as waste of water. Some garbage systems encourage it though.
