I just double or triple bag, and throw some paper in there to absorb some of the smell.

Freeze it or start having boils at other people’s homes so you don’t have to deal with clean up

Why I always do this stuff on the weekends.

Bag it up and find a dumpster somewhere is what I would do.

I usually go throw them at a local playground so that everyone will think black people did it.

We had a crawfish/crab boil for 65 people at my house on a Saturday in May. Our trash runs 2x/week but Monday is only what fits in a can, no bulk trash pickup. I had 15 contractor bags full of party waste that smelled awful by end of the day Sunday. No way i could wait for bulk pickup on Thursday.

I loaded all that in the bed of my truck and took it to the city dump. Anything under 1000lbs was free to dump if you have a DL and they could verify your account.

In Lafayette proper (not Youngsville, Broussard, rural areas, etc...) we have trash collection one time per week.

ETA: we have large trash cans. I typically do boils on the weekend and my trash pickup is early Tuesday morning. I double bag the boil trash and tie it tight and it's not bad.

Mine is only once a week but they give us one of those big trash bins on wheels. As a matter of fact our garbage truck didn't come until late Wednesday and didn't finish the neighborhood. Came back Thursday and forgot to pick up some people's garbage.. Including mine. It has two full trash bags in it and its about half full.

I live in the Piedmont Triad of NC, an area of about 2 million people. Three cities, and many towns and suburbs. I've lived around here in different areas.

I've only had once weekly trash pickup, and recycling pickup is every other week.

Which is funny because our recycling needs to be picked up weekly and trash every other week. We rarely fill out trash bin up halfway unless we're cleaning out something. Recycling bin fills up quickly.

I have no need for trash pickup to be more frequent. We don't generate that much garbage. Yeah, don't think I've ever lived with more frequent trash pickup.

Mine isn't until Friday mornings. I put all the leftover shells in a 5-gallon bucket with no trash in it and go dump that shite in the river at night.

Double bag the heads and peelings. Dump the water in the sewer clean out on the house, dilute as much as possible to make it easier. Schedule the trash can cleaner to come after pick up day. My trash pickup day is tuesday and we usually boil on saturday or sunday so it's not too bad.

Put them in your neighbor's trash can.

Our trash pickup is Monday. Almost always works out perfectly.

Not in a neighborhood. We have green cans in youngsville. My parents live a 2 minutes away and get twice weekly pickup and have the black and red cans.
