Part of our shut down routine includes a bit of an unusual habit: emptying the trash nightly, no matter what. This small part of our daily kitchen maintenance routine has an outsized impact on how our kitchen functions, not to mention how it smells! Not only does it contribute to an organized kitchen experience, but it actively prevents unpleasant odors from accumulating, creating a healthier environment for my family.
We purposely have a smaller trash can than you'd expect for a family of seven; it's a pull-out trash can that fits in one lower cabinet. A small trash can combined with our large family means that it is full by the end of most days. This strategic decision reduces plastic waste and helps us maintain cleanliness without compromising efficiency.
