How do our friends handle garbage dry camping?

Hey folks dry camping 1 2 3 days and no garbage disposal and need to haul out. What creative ways have the experts come up with?

In most dispersed camping sites we have utilized there have been community dumpsters along an entry road

We take it along when running around

Scuba you don't have a toad do U? Could put in the toad but if not, I would bag it in plastic trash bags and put in a storage compartment drop off at a rest area or truck stop dumpster.

George,
Seriously, I bag my trash and put it close by a tree. We dry camp in bear country, and they WILL get into your car/rv ect wherever youput it.
I would rather pick up a mess then to repair bear damage.

We use coffee cans to scrape leftover foodstuffs and grease into. We burn our paper waste and recycle the plastic. Before leaving, I’ll dig a hole a foot and a half deep and empty the food/grease waste into the hole and cover it up. If bears are a hazard, you could store the coffee cans away from your site. I’m sure someone will find fault with this approach.

Based on another thread about pulling a uhaul trailer, it sounds as though scuba might be considering a uhaul for the garbage. Pack it in. Pack it out. Attaboy!!!

Everyone have you seen bears in montana?
They will get into anything. Garbage would be all over.
Maybe buried Coffee can works?

Uhaul is because we are moving to las cruces NM near Sonoma ranch. Slowing packing .
No more WINTERS here! Family have ranches we will stay on in summer. Our reverse situation
