The Garbage Bowl Trick: The Simple Kitchen Hack Everyone Should Know

If you’ve ever felt like your kitchen turns into a battlefield every time you cook, this one small hack will change everything. It’s called the Garbage Bowl Trick, and it’s been around for years—but it’s going viral again for a reason.

Here’s how it works:
👉 While prepping meals, keep a medium-sized bowl right on your counter.
👉 As you chop, peel, and dice, toss all your scraps—onion skins, carrot tops, garlic peels, herb stems—straight into the bowl.
👉 At the end, you make one quick trip to the trash or compost bin, instead of running back and forth.
