For some time we had a bin lined with a bag in the garage large enough for two weeks of our waste. Within the house were small bins, about the size of a shoebox stood on its end, with no bags. When they fill, we tipped it into the garage bin. Two bags a month is pretty good in my mind.
Smell, vermin, rotting exposed food waste were all solved by the garage bin having a lid.

At my house, the squirrels have gnawed holes in the garage bin’s lid. It’s good that it has the lid, but it can’t completely stop the alley critters.
