Use Empty Microwave Popcorn Bags for Smelly Trash

Wait; don't throw that empty microwave popcorn bag in the trash! After popping the corn, fold the empty bag flat and store them till you need one. Use it instead to put smelly trash items in to keep from stinking up your house. Put the Styrofoam flats and meat pack that are used by grocery stores for steaks, chops, chicken breast, burger meat, etc., in them instead.

Give the flats a quick rinse and fold up as small as you get them and them stuff them into the empty microwave popcorn bag, roll top of bag down tightly and throw it in the trash. The microwave popcorn bags are tough enough to contain hot oil and popcorn so keeping the smell out of your home is a snap.
