Just that really. What have you got? And where from?

We have ikea plastic bins that I line with a bag. They don't have also and were only supposed to be temporary after we moved house, but they're a bit ugly and I don't like the fact you can see what's in it.

I have a small stainless steel pedal bin. It has a plastic bucket inside which I put a plastic bag in and it can't be seen when the lid is down.

Bought from the beloved Woolworths. RIP.

Two have small plastic pedal bins which were a few pounds from tesco. One has a small metal pedal bin which was from John Lewis. Like you, I prefer them to have lids

We have a small Ikea pedal bin - stainless steel with plastic inner bucket with handle. Cost about £4.50. I don't line with a bag - just clean the inner bucket as needed.

I've got 1.5L simple human countertop swing bins in the bathroom and ensuite - had them for a few years now and they still look like new (when clean!).

Same as wowfudge. Couldn't find any bin bags small enough but the plastic bucket part makes it really easy to clean.

No bin. Only 2 bins in the house. One in my bedroom as it's on the top floor and the other is in the kitchen. More bins means more effort

I find a lid is necessary in the bathroom.

I'm pretty sold on the superhuman 6L one. Going to get one and see what's it's like. Thanks all!

This one , it was on offer from Ocardo. The only thing is that I now feel compelled to buy the bin liners to go with it.

6L seems like a lot for a bathroom bin? Or am I missing something...

I have steel pails - think of an old fashioned metal bucket.

We've got over from Ikea with a lid. Just the right size to fit a carrier bag in as a liner. Also amazing because it is triangular so fits in the corner nicely!!
