Does anyone have any tips or tricks for how to replace plastic garbage bags?

  Everyone's situation is a little different, but I've been able to get away with usually just one trash bag to the road each week (me, husband, two dogs, 1 cat).... after composting food scraps, using a tupperware system for the litter box (where I scoop into the tupperware and empty that once a week before garbage day, sanitize, repeat) and recycling what I can, typically there is actually very little left to actually need to send to the landfill.
  
  There's a local compost called Beaten Path Garden where you can take your food scraps if you don't have one at home.

  You could possibly put your food waste in a compost bin and line your trashcan with paper or nothing, especially if majority of your food waste goes into a separate compost bin! I haven't fully implemented this myself though, just heard good things.
