place an extra trash bag underneath the liner of the first trash bag. that way, when you empty the trash can, you have a fresh, new liner ready to go. saves time and sanity!
i dump a whole bunch on the bottom of the can. then i don't have to dig around for a new one when the old one is full. that is, until i reach the end of my stack...
i like the idea of dumping a bunch at the bottom! maybe leaving just one out so when that pile gets empty, it's definitely time to pick up a new stash.
I never mind taking out the trash (weird thing #1), but putting in a new liner always irritates me (weird thing #2). This strategy makes that step just a bit easier. Love that.
