Today, I came down in the morning to find that my fridge died, leaving water and meat juice all over the floor. My town only has garbage pickup every other week and the last was yesterday. We're expecting a heat wave this week. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I discovered that my freezer had died when I saw the contents oozing out the bottom. The now-full trash can won't be picked up for another 6 days, and the high temperatures are supposed to be in the 100s all week. FML
Today, my refrigerator defrosted itself. FML
Today, I found out my ex-husband left the fridge full of rotting meat in the house that I'm selling. I turned off the power to the house in March. Now the whole house stinks, and I had to have the fridge professionally removed and the kitchen cleaned because buyers are coming to look at it tomorrow. FML
Today, I found that my cats somehow managed to pull the plug of my fridge out of the socket. Several days ago. Now I have to get rid of a ton of stinking food and clean the stinking fridge. FML
Today, my roommate read an article about unplugging appliances to save on electricity. Too bad the fucking moron also unplugged the fridge. We came home to a corpse-like stench and a fridge full of moldy food. We were gone for two weeks while the sludge marinated in the California heat. FML
Today, I bought $250 worth of groceries and was feeling rather good about myself because it's the first time I've been able to do so in months. When I returned home I found my fridge/freezer broken. Most of the food I bought was dairy or frozen. FML
Today, I got home an hour late from to find that my roommate had left the fridge open for the entire 8 hours. The kicker is that I was an hour late because I was at the grocery store, not buying the things that were getting ruined because I thought we had some. FML
Today, I came home to a terrible smell in the apartment. Three hours, and a scoured kitchen later, I took the trash out. The smell was not my apartment, but from just across the alley; a neighbor had moved and emptied their fridge. Six more days of sunned milk until pickup. FML
Today, I came home to find that maggots had taken over my garbage can this weekend. We weren't home to catch it, and I didn't use the garbage this morning. On top of that, I hadn't had my caffeine for the day because I ran out and forgot. FML
Today, the blood from some defrosted steak dripped under my fridge where I couldn't see it. One insanely hot day later, and my whole house smells like it has its period. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So toss it all in trash bags and set it outside, and on the way to work, toss it in a public trash receptacle

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! Endure two weeks of rotten food stench and you won’t have to go to the gym for a year!

Put it a plastic garbage bag. Add bleach before sealing it tight. Leave outside.

Most garbage companies will do an additional pick up if you call them, it usually just costs a bit extra.

Most cities have a place you can drop off trash, sometimes they do charge you for the privilege to bring your trash... However you should check if your city has anything like this...

Usually, if it's something that can become a biohazard- like rotted meat- the garbage company will send out an extra pick up. Some companies charge for it, others don't. It depends on what sort of contract they have with the local government.

It doesn't say where you live, but where I am in Florida we have local Solid Waste Disposal Center. All residents can use for free, it just requires a trip up there. Maybe google your town and see if anything is in your area.
