That time of year again. Put fish guts in trash and the smell makes you run away after a day in the heat. I even doubled bag in grocery bags and the put in sealed ziplock to no avail. My only workable solution to date is fish on Thursday as the trash man comes on Friday. Even then the can stinks to high by Friday night.
Any suggestions

Don’t put in trash.....lol :Rofl
seriously if option just throw outside and feed wildlife. Maybe filet at lake and return to lake for catfish, turtle, etc...
I bury mine under the tomatoe plants ....or where I am going to plant tomatoes and other garden stuff.
I’ve done that before in my garden but I get tired of digging holes.....lol
Put Fish guts in freezer, put out day of Garbage pickup. I knew of a guy that was taking the guts down to the park and placing it in the dumpster they had. The park set up a trail camera and caught the guy, but it worked a long time for him!!
What midnight508 said, that's what I do.
1) Use post hole digger to make burying a little easier or freeze until trash day, just make sure to mark “TRASH” and don’t forget. lol. Just goes along with fishing and if you have guts, it means good fishing.
Wish I had your problem!
I freeze all mine and use for crabpots

mine go into garden and you should see my tomatoes! even in the awful rock filled red clay soil. If you have roses or flowers they love em too. but make it a lil deeper as the coons will dig em up as they love em too. at the country place toss them in the pasture and between cats, dogs, coons and coyotes they are gone usually overnight. or I put them in bucket and take them back to docks where I caught most of them at and dump em back in to attract minnows which attract crappie, catfish and others.
I live very close to the Indian River Lagoon system which has nice free launch areas including good fish cleaning stations with running water.
Within minits you will be surrounded by Pelicans and other large birds begging for a free meal.
Almost more fun than the catching is feeding the birds.
You need to be watching your filets however as they tend to get aggressive at times.
bury guts hope dog or coon dosent dig them up.
Bring to a nearby river lake or pond dispose in the water and what the turtles don't finish the birds bring a shore the insects will complete
I take mine to the garden or put them in local farm fields.
The freezer works best but If trash day is not too far away, I keep mine on ice in a cooler. Bagged up of course.
