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 😂🙈

Whoever remembers!

Me. My husband works away and even when he is around I do it because he doesn’t even know the bin day and my children can’t take it around to the front cause it’s too heavy. We have the large one

Me

Whoever remembers. I can’t stand the idea of male and female jobs, to me that’s backwards.

I’m 8 months pregnant and I was carting a load of bags down to it yesterday. I live on a farm and it’s miles away. It needed going so I did it!

When I was little my dad did it, but this was the days of having to carry a huge metal bin out to the road, before wheelie bins!! Now dh usually does it, because we put it out the morning of collection and he leaves the house first. But he sometimes forgets so I do it. If I left the house first I would do it.

My husband always does it. Not sure why, I think it's really sweet as maybe just doesn't want me to get dirty hands or whatever.

We both take a shot

Dh does it. We have very defined roles here, he doesn’t touch the iron for example. He is also great at getting inside the bin and jumping up and down on the rubbish to compress it and get more in. I’m a clutz and would break the bin and/or a leg if I did that .

I usually do it as our bins are collected on the day I WFH and DH does the nursery run. Since lockdown DH has been starting at 6am so again I do them but if he is taking a break before I’ve done them he will do it! Whoever passes the empty bin first is the one to bring them in (but if it’s very windy I will keep checking to see if they have been taken - I’m hard of hearing so don’t hear the lorry!).

@bulliedintonamechange does he also clean all the bathrooms and do all the dishes to stop your hands getting dirty?

Both of us but mostly me as he works away a lot

My bin has to be wheeled down a track to the front of the house. My 11 year old usually puts it out for his pocket money unless my neighbours taken it when he puts his out. My 4.5 year old likes to bring it back in although i accompany him as its next to a main road, but then he will do anything for a tube of smarties.

Whoever still awake when we remember it's bin night lol

OH does all the bin stuff.
Takes out kitchen waste, recyclables, puts out the wheelie bins on bin days.
I never ask or remind him. That's one of his jobs.

DH mainly puts them out he always remembers before me and usually knows which bin week it is, he's a little bit paranoid about missing bin collection god knows why. i usually get them back in though.

Me. I never understood why it's considered a man's job, my partner just keeps stuffing things in the bin until it's too full to empty.

Both of us, although dh will take the black bin to the path. I can do it but it's rather heavy and I always seem to twist a knee in the process.

We both do it, DH probably more than me but I did it this morning. My friend never does it and she calls it "blue" job

Husband. He also does the washing and ironing though!

Ours are on the drive so don’t need to be moved each week. However I sort all the rubbish and fill the bins as nobody else seems capable of putting things in the correct bin.

Always my husband.

My DH

Who takes the full bin or recycling from the kitchen to the wheelie bins? Either of us, we're not precious.

Who wheels wheelie bins from the back of the house to the roadside each week? DH, he stays up later and wheels them out at about midnight as part of his 'checking the house is locked up' routine.

I do, because I weirdly enjoy it.

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

I’m really hoping this is sarcasm 😂

I generally do it op, as usually I’m going that way first, if not my husband does it, and for the sarcastic poster above, I also wash my own car, and always do the power washing as I like it, as well as occasionally cutting the grass. I don’t wash the windows, but neither does my husband,as we have a window cleaner.

I can’t imagine men’s jobs or women’s jobs. I’m perfectly capable thankfully of cutting the grass, putting the bin out, or power washing the patio. And my husband is perfectly capable of doing whatever job may be deemed the woman’s. Which I’m seriously hoping isn’t deemed housework.
