depends on where we are and access to a trash can, but generally we just take the plastic bags from walmart, lowes, etc and put the loop handle over a door knob or whatever and fill the bag when i'm cooking. empty cans, napkins, etc go in the walmart bag and after i'm done and the area is cleaned up, i tie off the bag and take it to a trash can if i'm at a park and if not, i'll use a bag for each meal and tie them off and stick them in one of the large black contractor's trash bag and then when we leave the site to go into town for supplies, etc, i'll take the big trash bag and take it to a dumpster at a dollar general, gas station, etc. i guess if animals were a problem, putting the big trash bag inside of a big duffle bag might keep small varmits from ripping the bag...guess trash is more of a problem for larger groups boondocking and not leaving the area for days at a time and getting a big build up of garbage.
