Some people do, some don't. Do you?

Why would anyone freeze their garbage?

I have a little composting contraption.

No, I use the smallest 2 liter garbage bags and set them out on the side of the street where the neighbors put theirs.

I freeze my food garbage ("wet garbage") so that it doesn't contribute to the incredible stench wafting around on wet garbage pick-up days. Apparenlty a few of my neighbors also do that. Sadly, not enough do!

My next door neighbour keeps his bin the in freezer. Strange and disturbing, yet undeniably useful.

In my district, food garbage pick-up is on Monday night and Friday night. That leaves three options:

1. Leave the unfrozen garbage outside where it reeks and draws vermin.
   
2. Leave the unfrozen garbage inside where it reeks and draws vermin.
   
3. Freeze the garbage and place it outside on the appropriate evenings for pick-up and no stench or vermin problems!

If there's plenty of space in your freezer I think it might actually make sense from an energy saving point of few too - unless you're opening and closing it all the time to put the food waste in.

I think it would make your freezer smell like crap. The last thing I need is my ice cubes to smell like last month's Kimchi.

Depends on how you do it. Bag the stuff, put the bag in a tupperware-style container, close the container and freeze it. The key is to minimize the accumulation. Take the stuff out every "wet garbage" collection day.
