Bedroom bins

[ThisLittleKitty]

My sister was complaining that her partner leaves used condoms on her dressing table instead of putting them in the bin in the bathroom. When I suggested she get a bin for her bedroom she said that it was weird and who has a bin in their bedroom and that it would basically be a "condom bin" I have a bin in my bedroom (not for the reason!) are bedroom bins weird? Do you have a bin in your bedroom?

I have a bin in the bedroom as I have medication I take at night, so empty packages go in it. Also used tissues from blowing my nose and the packaging for the glass wipes for my reading glasses if I want to read in bed. Would be all over the place otherwise!

She's told everyone? That's grim.

We have one but it occasionally slips into an alternate dimension, apparently, as only I can see when it needs emptying.

A bin in every room, here...

Bin or waste paper basket in every room.
I go round with two bags twice a week and sort them, recycle and non recycle and empty bins.
Dead easy and keeps the place free from ‘bits’.

We have loads of bins 😁
Two each in kitchen, bathroom and living room, and one in our bedroom. The only rooms that don't are the DC's rooms, but they are quite young still, so they probably will when they're older.
I am really lazy, which does explain it 😂 I'd rather empty 7 bins every week than have to go running round the house in search of one every time I have some rubbish. Anything 'wet' must go in either the kitchen bin or lidded and lined bathroom bin though, so condoms would not be allowed in my bedroom bin either...

This is probably the weirdest post I've read on here!

Every room in the house has its own bin. Cant really see why not. Im the one who empties them all each week so no probelm to keep on top of them.

Well her friendship group

I don't have a bin in the bedroom or bathroom if there's rubbish it gets taken downstairs or put in a nappy bag, I would advise your sister for the next time he leaves a used condom on her dressing table to put it in his pants pocket or his shoe the scruffy bleeder might think twice then

How old is she?

When people say every room is that the living room aswell? Never seen one in a living room.

Mind you, I don't have them in the bathroom either.

Make-up is done in the bathroom, any rubbish such as empty shampoo bottles go straight in the kitchen recycling bin. Sanitary products get wrapped in tissue or the wrapper from the new pad and goes straight into the kitchen bin.

It's never been an issue.

Every room has a bin, living room has two, one by DH seat and one by my seat

We have one and it is literally full of tissues and used to be condoms when we used them. And the occasional sock with a hole or clothing tag.

I'm always really embarrassed about it and if we have the slightest chance of someone coming into our bedroom I have to change the binbag before they do!

Bins only in bathroom and kitchen here. We tend to just chuck stuff like clothes tags, tissues etc on the floor or on top of chest of drawers until we can be arsed to relocate it to a bin. That sounds bad written down but in reality things get moved to bins every few days so there's never very much on the floor!

I'm with you.

Because so much stuff has to be sorted for recycling it would mean three bins in every room!

I have a bin in the living room in a corner behind the settee. Bedroom and bathroom bins too.

No kitchen bin though! I use a bag which gets put in the dustbin.

We have bins in every room as well, generally the bedroom one only has multiple used contact lenses in and tissues, but no way I'd be going to one bin in the house for every bit of rubbish!

OP how old is she and how long has she been with him?

None of our recycling goes into a bin and then gets taken out. It goes straight into the recycling box.
No firkling around in bins, just knot the liner and remove.

Small bin in the bedroom, anything for recycling is put next to the bin and taken to the kitchen next time you go downstairs. What on earth do people without a bedroom bin do with snotty tissues when they have a cold?

Bins in every room here.
Bedroom bin for tissues, tags from new garments, contact lens packs, sanitary items, dental floss. Where do you put these items otherwise?

The thing is, it's not like you're never going to go to the kitchen or bathroom again, so you just take the rubbish with you the next time you go, you don't have to make a special trip. Unless it's food waste there's really no harm in leaving it where it is. Having said that I would make a special trip for a used condom! But nine times out of ten one or both of us will go to the bathroom anyway after sex so it wouldn't really need a special trip.
