Bins - specifically where to put them

I have frequently visited relatives and stayed with them and ended up putting things in a plastic bag to throw away with discretion at a later time. It's got me thinking for when we host our first visitors overnight in our own house.

Do you prefer bins in the bathroom, the bedroom or both? If someone is using the lounge as a sleep/change space should we put a bin in there too?

A lined basket / bin in each bedroom and both bathrooms.
A lined waste paper bin in the lounge.
Usual bins in kitchen.
I like waste baskets/bins to hand in every room.
Never too many bins in my book.

I have tiny pedal bins from The Range in most rooms. They are 3L so use very small bags but then guests don't have to feel awkward about insisting on taking the bag out even if there's only a couple of bits in there. With a bigger bin I worry they might feel more awkward about taking out a bag that's practically empty.

Yes that sounds great thank you. Something small
