Most places you pay, its only $2 a bag. So I'm not sure why there's a need to avoid paying.. But there are some spots I think you probably can.

There is a dumpster in Cane Garden Bay near where the ghut crosses the road and one in Great Harbor JVD going towards Foxy's from the main dock.

We bring six or eight 13gal kitchen bags in our luggage and a few big lawn bags. Black, 40-60 gal size?
Toss the daily bags in the big ones and store in the front hatches on a cat. No problem even in the hatch with the generator. All week long!
Got em ready to be packed for our trip this week! List is getting shorter with experience, still no bath mats though. Suburban D...where are you?
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.

Dharma's husband Doug had a bout with cancer earlier this year so they have been sticking close to home lately.

As Twanger and justaroofer mentioned, you can't bring garbage, meat or produce from the BVI to USVI. Even if you bought everything in the US, it has to be disposed of before you check in with US C&I. There is a USDA inspector at Cruz Bay customs. If you answer "yes" to the trash/food question you'll have to bring your trash to the incinerator on St. Thomas. Until they renovated the parking lot, there was a dumpster outside of the C&I office. There are dumpsters near the NPS Visitors Center and their dinghy dock, as well as trash cans for cruisers at most NPS moorings; Leinster Bay trash cans are in the Annnaberg parking lot.

trueblue said: Are you saying that if we charter out of BVI, and go into USVI we have to dump all food? or is it opened food? what about frozen meats? It has been a long time since we have gone over to USVI, and I do not remember these issues before - or perhaps I was just ignorant of them. It's my understanding is that, by the letter of the law all "international" trash, which includes any food that could spoil, must be discarded before entering the US. Our briefer hinted that if we only had aboard food/drink that was unopened, sealed and not going to easily spoil (think a box pop tarts in the unopened original packaging vs. a new unopened loaf of bread) we would be okay. This was our second trip in three years and never any hint that we might be inspected. In fact, this time they didn't even ask.

The USDA lady is not always at Cruz Bay. If you say that you have anything that is controlled they'll ask you to take it to the incinerator on St. Thomas. We "just say no."
