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?

Never seen one in a living room.

I have 2 bins in the living room. For sweetie papers, tissues, pencil sharpenings, envelope or two - not anything messy.

Me and a fair few people I know have a bin in their bedroom.

I have a bin the ensure,DD wants a double bin so she can separate out paper(art stuff).
And yes I have one in the living room,it was my DDS excuse for leaving stuff everywhere is gone,one of her jobs is to empty all bins on bin day.

If you are in living room then get up and go into the kitchen, you just take your crap with you and put in kitchen bin?

I'd hate to have a bin full of rubbish in every room.

I live in an old two bed Victorian terrace and our bathroom is downstairs so a bedroom bin for both DD and I is essential.

If we didnt have bedroom bins then there would be all sorts of tissues/cotton buds/face wipes/hair from hairbrushes/clothes tags/old contact lenses/used glasses wipes/random sweet and snack wrappers/water bottles/pencil shavings (DD likes to colour in her room and) etc littering the place up, waiting to be taken downstairs next time someone goes down but most likely forgotten until there's a small pile of rubbish waiting

It's hard enough to get DD to bring her rubbish down once a week - when all she has to do is pull the bag out of the bin so I can put it in the wheelie bin on bin day - never mind getting her to bring every item down individually!

They don't tend to be 'full of rubbish' in every room - when they get full, then I would empty them.
So, I've been sitting watching TV, over Christmas, various other family members in and out, munching way through the Christmas Chocolates. When a chocolate is unwrapped, the wrapper goes in the bin.
When I'm sewing, and cut some thread (or sometimes cut say a name label out of clothes and you get all the little bits of cotton - they go in the bin.
When I pick up a pen to write something and it's run out - it goes in the bin.
If I take a paracetamol, the little silver bits from the packet go in the bin.
Occasionally a leaf falls of a plant and I pick it up and put it in the bin.

I don't understand why you would want to either get up each time and make a trip to the kitchen, or sit with a collection of little bits until you go out at the end of the night, when you could just put them in the rubbish bin directly.

I have a bin in every room - and in our house we have 14 rooms.

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

Well, I don't floss my teeth or change my sanitary towels in the bedroom. That is all done in the bathroom.

I simply walk downstairs and put it in the kitchen bin.

I have a bin in the bathroom, not in any bedrooms. If people have rubbish upstairs it goes in the bathroom bin. We don't have food upstairs at all so no wrappers.

Bin in every room, does no one blow their nose in bed?? Where do the tissues go?
We have an ensuite but still have a bin by the bed too, I don’t see a problem with it.

He lives with his mother? Wonder how she would react if he left used condoms around there?

We have a waste paper basket in every room - so yes we have bedroom bins can't imagine not having them.
Generally have cotton wool / buds, tissues, hair of brushes and crap out of pockets in bedroom ones

We used to have bins in most rooms, then one day I had a cull and got rid of bins in our bedroom, the living room, dining room, conservatory. We only have a big bin in the kitchen, small one in each bathroom and one in each of the children’s rooms.
It saves emptying lots of bins and rooms look less cluttered, it’s no great hardship to walk to another room to get rid of rubbish. I used to hate emptying them all, it’s a much quicker task now.

I just want to know, if people with no bins in bedrooms wake up in the middle of the night and have to blow their noses, do they get up and go to the living room?

Cause seriously, I'm nooooot getting out of bed at night.

We have a bin in every room of the house except the dining room, which isn't used as a dining room, and the utility room. Used to have one in the latter but the cats kept scavenging in it. I'm more bothered by the lack of rechecking going on than whether someone has a bin in a particular room.
