Kudos to you two.  
I fill about 35l a week, though the main culprits are the diapers which will hopefully be a thing of the past real soon.

I don’t use them 🙂  
I think I’ve already told my secret: “clean” a bit the stuff I throw away and put the uncleanable stuff inside old milk cartons that I brick once full. That makes a sack bearable (breathable as well)

I think this deserves a “pants down on your waste amount” thread split-off!

Currently we fill 1.5x 17liter bags per week, including nappies. 🙂

I bought a worm composter mid 2020, but currently not in operation, as all the worms passed away 😞 and waiting for spring to start again. Quite a learning curve to get this eco-system up n running sustainably.
