Many years ago, when i first sailed everything went over the side (ok so we didnt know any better) Then the international maratime organisation stopped it, and came out with the motto, "over the side is over" So on the ships, we bagged up or garbage, and took it to the next port. We had enough space to do this, and some ships had incinurators to burn everything, then compactors to turn what didnt burn, into little blocks. Last time i sailed for what i think was an extended period on a sailboat, (eight days) we were badly running out of room to store garbage, so we took to sinking, cans and bottles in the sea, but we kept most of the garbage, the plastics because we believed they should never be put in the water, the cardboard because that floats, and its easy to compact, and some of the cans and glass containers just in case we got boarded by the coastguard, and they asked to see our garbage. Their were three of us, an awful lot of garbage for eight days.
I am not concerened about sailing on the lakes, as i take all garbage in, and no one stays out that long in the lakes, but, what do people do in extended cruises in small boats. Like do you wash your garbage, then store it, so it dosent smell, do you dump some, do you keep it in the cockpit or down bellow?
