London, Nov 16 (IANS) Oscar winning actress Reese Witherspoon has confessed that she dumps her excess garbage in neighbours' bins.

The actress was promoting her new perfume Friday when she opened up about it, reported contactmusic.com.

'I like to throw things away. I'm obsessed with garbage,' she said.

'After a holiday or a birthday, I have tons and tons of garbage and it always overflows and I always sort of peek out late at night and look at the neighbours' garbage can.

'So, if I have a particularly bad day, where I have a lot of extra garbage, I go and take my garbage and put it in theirs,' she added.
