Washington, Nov 16 American actress Reese Witherspoon has confessed that whenever she has excess garbage she just dumps it in her neighbour's bin.

Witherspoon, 33, who was promoting her new perfume on The Tonight Show on November 13, revealed to talk show host Conan O'Brien that she is obsessed with garbage.

"I like to throw things away. I'm obsessed with garbage," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"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, and it's, like, empty. They're like these amazing people that have no trash.

"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 said.

The actress also revealed that whenever there is too much garbage she does not hesitate to smash it down by stomping on it.

"I also put on rubber boots if there's too much garbage and I'll stand on the garbage and smash the garbage down... I'm, like, a garbage compactor," she added. (ANI)
