To ask who takes the bins out?

[louise5754]

If you don't like the question you don't need to answer and can hide the thred.

I've just spoken to my SIL who says she's never put their bin out and it's the mans job. Theirs is round the back though so they have to bring it round the front.

My sisters is on their drive so I guess it's easier.

Mine is at the back and we have to go down a gennel through a car park then take it to the front.

My DH works away lots so even when he's home he doesn't think about menial day to day things like bin day so I usually do it unless I ask him, though if he is doing it he will jump out of bed when he hears the lorry.

If you life alone obviously you have no choice.

Pointless post I suppose. I think I'm over tired. The kids have sent me mad 😂🙈

Where are these people reading that we won't do it because of genitalia.
@P1nkHeartLovesCake can you point out where anyone says they won't do it because they're female.
I don't want to do it. Because I don't want to. Nothing to do with my vaj.

Another one whose partner never remembers. He takes them out but I have to remember to remind him every single week.

We don't have a bin to put out so I can't answer that but I will say that every 4-6 weeks we go to the recycling centre and get rid of our waste that way.
Also I shop at lidl so I get rid of most packaging at the shop.
Bottles-go to the bottle bank in the village
Card- some gets put in the kids crafts cupboard/ the rest gets recycled.
Food waste- a lot of our peelings etc goes to compost as does any garden waste
Plastics- gets washed and put in our plastic box until it goes to be recycled
Tins- washed and recycled
General waste- we don't have whole lot to be honest.

Ours are emptied on Friday mornings, I don't work on Thursdays so I tend to empty all the bins except the kitchen bin into the wheely bin and drag it round the front of the house during the course of the day (some of my neighbours have told me they never remember which bin it is each week, they wait for me to put mine out and copy, so I put it out quite early). I just leave DH to empty the kitchen bin before coming to bed. I usually drag it back round in the morning too, because it's usually emptied just before I leave for work.

Me - as with all the jobs I do everything

DH does it

Definitely a man's job. And there's women's job, like being prime minister.

Single parent. I do everything, including decorating, electrics, plumbing and DIY. Don't see why I need a penis for any of that!

Youngest teen to get pocket money.

@P1nkHeartLovesCake Not the rubbish from the kitchen bin. The actual large wheelie bin that gets emptied by the bin men/women

My neighbours
I also never de-ice my car, there is a secret fairy who does it. I get up, and go to my car and it's always been done. Not a clue who it is

We actually don't even take our bins out - we have a neighbour who takes out our bin and the bins of the houses around us (about 12 houses) and always has done. The arrangement apparently started a long time before we moved in and honestly and first we thought it happened like, to be nice when we first moved in but every week since, he has taken our bin out too. He always puts the right bin out for the correct week and he also returns all of the bins to the houses again (all of us have our bins on the bath next to the front garden/drives)

I honestly couldn't tell you why he does this or why its the arrangement but it is, and he's apparently very happy with it, and the bin is never forgotten.

@LookToTreblesGoingTreblesGone

we had those in the 80s too. I can't imagine having those small ones now. Even with a paper/card glass/plastic bin our actual rubbish bin is wheats full.

Husband every time unless he’s away for longer than usual. I’m better at other things.

DH. We definitely have split man/woman jobs

I’m with you SIL it’s a mans job, like all out side jobs gardening, grass cutting, car washing , outside window washing, power washing, all men’s jobs.

Either me or my neighbour- depends which one of us gets up first to do it.

@Nanalisa60 your post made me laugh.

I can just imagine you and your husband washing windows together: you doing the inside and him doing the outside.

Me. MIL always tells me it's a mans job and I'm a saint to do it. If I clean the house and look after the dc all day then it's just what I'm expected to do but if I spend 10 minutes sorting the recycling and putting the bins out then I'm doing something amazing.

My DH does it unless he is unavailable. This has nothing to do with me being a woman and everything to do with me being an uncoordinated weakling. I’ve broken bones taking the bins out. DH would much rather just do it himself.

He does.

My partner has always worked away from home a lot so I am in the habit of putting the bins out.

Usually DH as he's better at remembering bin night (if he's away I'm usually doing it cursing in my PJs at 7am as the bin lorry hurtles towards me), but I will do it if he's busy or I remember first

I've damaged the car in two separate bin related incidents, so I am less keen to do it now. I'm more likely to do it if I was the last one to park the car, because I make sure I park straight and leave extra room between the car and the wall on bin night. Mostly it is my husband though because he's the last one in that day.

Me. I live alone.
But I'm in flats with 11 other neighbours, none of whom bother if I can't do it for any reason.

Our recycling hasn't gone out for two months now.
