Carrying our rubbish.

We use a canvas tyre bag for rubbish.

We burn everything and pick up the remains when cool and take with us, this has reduced our need to carry rubbish..... the other thing is you are not carrying food smells that attract animals and increasing the chance of becoming sick.

We use cans over bottles as the squash smaller and don't shatter when empty.

As I said burn everything and once cold take it with you.

most of the 4wd accessory companies sell "dirty gear bags" that mostly hang on the spare wheel.
Many people use these for their rubbish.

As mentioned above, the modification of the old "burn Bash & burry" to "burn bash and carry" will reduce your volume considerbly.

If you have a ute, a 20 liter drum with either a snap on or screw top lid works pretty well.

As far as the smelly food waste.....well if you have dogs with you, storing some of that in the dogs is entirely practical.

I use those red white and blue plastic bags from cheap as chips or go-lo etc - they cost about 2 to 3 dollars. They come in small, medium and large and have a zip to close and depending on what I put in them I use one inside another. I take at least half dozen of each size with me depending on where I am going. They are ten times stronger than normal plastic bags and for only a few dollars I just throw them away at the nearest tip. They are not 100 percent waterproof or odourproof but do the job fairly well for little cost and only take up a small amount of space.

Same as others above. A rubberised canvas rubbish bag hung on the spare wheel. Don't just toss the rubbish in the bag. Line the bag with a big rubbish bin liner and then use smaller ones inside the large bag. No leaks or accidents in several years. No smells either.

Before I had the spare wheel carrier which I now hang a canvas rubbish bag off of I used a chaff bag. And when I finally got a wheel carrier I still used the chaff bag but I lashed it to the carrier. Before that I just stored the rubbish in the bag on the roof rack.

Thanks everyone. It would seem that burn off is the way to go where we can. Don't have a spare to hang a bag over so that will be out. Some other useful suggestions so all very helpful.
Appreciate it guys.

A big bug bear to us are the well meaning guests who burn their rubbish in the firepits we provide with the wood we provide and then leave the burnt rubbish for us to shovel out and take away. Burnt rubbish is still rubbish and it's littering. So is throwing cigarette butts out all over the place. I must say though that we don't get a lot of rubbish left behind, most visitors take it with them. Toni

We use two different garbage bags within a rear wheel mounted bag.
One is for non burnables such as can & bottles, crush the cans obviously.
The other holds everything that can be burned and is dumped on the fire when appropriate.

Just on the toilet paper burning issue, I used to burn the paper in the hole before filling it in. Sometimes this can take awhile especially if you have used a wet one as part of the process or if its the better half doing a number one and requiring a wipe as girls do then its a bit hard burning the paper.
What we now do is to include some brown paper lunch bags in with our toilet roll carry bag. We then put the used toilet paper and wet ones into the brown paper bag and then they are put in the rubbish burn bag mentioned above.
They are then burnt as a whole with the other rubbish.
We know what's in the brown paper bags so its no big issue.
It's a system that works very well, quicker & cleaner all round with no risk of paper escape or setting fire to the bush :)
The paper bags cost next to nothing from the supermarket.

Okey dokey. Clear up as would be normal, and also pay attention to anything the is burnt and in itself would create an impact, would be the way to go. We have a couple of cassettes for human waste so burning the toilet paper not an issue.

Thanks all.
