No personal stories here, just answering the question about what you should be doing. When it comes to trash, I am a big believer in prevention is better than cure.
Take responsibility for the trash you generate!
Organic waste - Compost your wet waste. Your wet waste contributes to 60% of your city's trash, and makes up most of the weight of the collected garbage. So just by redirecting all of it into composting, you can make a sizable difference.
If you own land adjacent to your residence, create a compost pit and compost in batches. Use soil and/or dry leaves to cover up "fresh" wet waste. Use vermicomposting to speed up the process.If you do not own land, compost in containers. Check out products like Daily Dump for simple solutions to composting in apartments. We know that composting can even be done in simple cardboard boxes. It's just a matter of using enough dry matter, and keeping enough aeration to speed up composting.Utilize your compost either by donating it to nearby nurseries or gardens, or else just grow your own food in buckets, by growing it directly in the fertile compost. To learn more about growing food in all kinds of space availability in cities, check out Green Souls*, or attend one of their workshops. Learn more about permaculture.
Inorganic waste - Reduce, if not, then Reuse, if not, then Recycle
