How much trash do you generate? Because that’s a giant amount of space devoted to just trash when it could go to other more needed storage. It’s also a temptation to let it sit and start to smell when you have the ability to just keep stuffing things into it. It’s far better to make your trash as small as you can get away with, and take it out every day. Like a small bin under a sink. And a small compost crock on the counter. And a bigger recycling bin in the garage. You will barely even need a trash pickup if you recycle and compost both.

You just described a recipe for a very stinky kitchen. Garbage shouldn’t sit in a kitchen for days. It should go out daily. Your inside recycling should all be washed and also go out daily. Having 35 quarts of trash in your home invites pests. It’s the equivalent of you not cleaning your cat box daily if you let it sit around. Get it out of the house as quick as possible. Daily or twice daily.
