Question
Can all leftovers be placed in one Shemitah bin without bags?
Answer
One should not place leftovers in a Shemitah bin day after day if the leftovers from the previous day cause the rapid spoilage of today's leftovers. There is a concern that this constitutes a loss by one's own hands, as food that has begun to rot causes the rapid spoilage of fresh food leftovers. Therefore, leftovers from each day should be placed in a separate bag and then placed in the Shemitah bin.
