Trash
New 'dwellers can be shocked at the amount of trash they generate.
preventing trash
The biggest win is to prevent bringing potential trash into your camper in the first place. This might involve:
purchasing products that are not excessively packaged
removing products from packaging after purchase and throwing it away in the store's own trash receptacles
using one's own shopping bag
storing trash
store trash in trash - wad up trash and stuff it into pickle jars, tin cans, or other trash items. Tin cans might nest inside each other, Russian-doll style.
if possible, store the trash outside the vehicle and off the ground.
disposing of trash
The trick here is to be ruthless in disposing of trash; always deposit trash when you see an appropriate bin. It's like your dad's advice to always take the opportunity to pee before a road trip.
