What do you all do with the rubbish you accrue during a session?
I've only done a couple of nights on my lake which has no on-site waste disposal - the first time I left the bin bag outside as I figured I didn't want to attract anything into the bivvy but within a few hours of darkness something had nibbled a sizeable hole in the bag and I was lucky I didn't all end up in the lake!
The second time I put the back back in my coolbox but seems a little unhygienic putting that with my fresh/yet to be eaten food and drink...
Figured I could zip it in my tackle bag; are the usual fishing bag materials animal proof?
Wouldn't want to attract something in the bivvy because it can smell food through the bag nor do I want a hole nibbled in the bag...
My final thought was put it in the bucket with my bait but that would probably get a bit messy once it's all glugged...

I take a round plastic quality street tub and that lives in the bottom of my collapsible bucket. I normally leave it outside the bivvy on a session but haven't even been troubled by rodents.

Same as
Just don't make decorations out of them by leaving them at the end of the session like some dickheads

Usually just hang a carrier bag on the handle of my barrow and all rubbish goes in there.
Take a spare bait bucket. If you have two identical and one has bait in, put the full one inside the empty one and the lid of the empty one on top. Then it takes up no extra room.
Tins flatten them under your shoe and likewise with any box's etc. Before you flatten tins though, pack them with any paper, tissue, kitchen roll etc first. Plastic drink bottles etc, loosen the top and then "Roll" them up to flatten them out and get rid of the air from inside and then tighten the top up. Plastic water bottles are designed to do this with all the "ripples" that they have around them, you can just scrunch them up and tighten the top.

Another vote for the hanging carrier bag. Although I tend to have very little rubbish these days - main thing seems to be the pucks of coffee grinds from the Aeropress which I tap into a small sandwich bag. I don't drink tea, so no tea bags. Not a smoker, so no cig ends. And food is prepped at home and taken in plastic takeaway containers so no waste there. If it's super hot and I've grabbed a couple of bottles of coke or similar on my way (or an occasional beer), I just pop them in my barrow so they're separate & can go straight in the recycling at home once I've unloaded the car.

I kind of do that, although my empty bucket is my spod mix, what I spod in at the start of the session. It is then empty for my rubbish.
I have a number of buckets, 😆 Catering gravy granules buckets, in a nice green colour, one for boilies, one for pellets and chops to go in PVA bags, and the aforementioned spod mix bucket. They fir nicely inside each other, with the lids on top fitted together.
I can then simply put my non-recyclable waste in a plastic bag, inside the bucket, and my recyclable waste is loose in the bucket

Thank god there is someone else that goes fishing and knows what to do with the waste of us anglers.
I was starting to lose the will to live until I read your post Zack
OK here is what I do, most of the stuff I take fishing for a reasonable session, (3 nights at least) is pre cooked evening meals in re usable plastic containers, after use they get rinsed and put back into my food bag.
Breakfasts which are normally fried or cereal with fruit, again are removed from the original packages and also put into reusable containers, what's left of the fruit, being bio degradable is placed somewhere out of sight to degrade.
Drink cans or plastic bottles are crushed and reduced in size, the same as Zack.
Tea bags are taken home along with every other piece of rubbish I might generate.
I never, ever expect a fishery to provide waste bins for anglers, if you can carry full packaging that contains stuff you will consume whilst on the bank, then you can take the packaging home when empty.
No one but no one is responsible for your rubbish except you!!
If anyone is worried about mice, rats or anything else you think might get at your food or waste , take a bucket with a lid, I absolutely hate seeing rubbish bags hanging from ****ing trees!
Litter is a pet hate of mine, it's easily the biggest problem at public, commercial and club waters.

I use a 5 litre bucket to put my waste in,in the start of a sess it has a bit of bait,some food..I use it to sit on in the bivvy or watching the water..
Rubbish ,if you can bring it,you can take it away..
Leave rubbish on my syndicate,your banned, leave rubbish or burn marks ,fag butt's...anything on two of the lakes I manage,your gone, end of...I hate litter..there is no excuse for litter at all on fisheries,or in the countryside..
It's that simple..

Don't use a bucket but agree with every word you say 100%. There is no excuse and that includes spilt bait.
