Do you have a bin?

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

Apparently noone in Essex has a bin?! (TOWIE)

Its unhygienic - which actually i do get, but i need my bin. I have one in each room 😭

(Edited quickly, a kitchen bin)

Why would anyone puta used pad unwrapped in the bin! Absolutely gross.

I understand some people seems to be unable to cope with the mess and smells that gather in bins (though, they could just empty them more regularly), but I don’t understand how a loose plastic bag solves the problem. What about food and wet things? Coffee grounds, tea bags, gravy, oil… are these open and presumably hanging bags not dripping onto work surfaces or the floor? Do they not smell? How is this a better option than a bin? Or are you saying that you only put dry things in the bag? In which case do you mean that you put food waste somewhere else?
very confused!

Hanging bags are not for rubbish but for other bags. With bags in them. Bag inception

Agreed. Was a child with a different cultural inheritance.

Bit like toilet brushes we don’t have those either. That’s one of dh’s jobs cleaning the toilet.

I know that this thread isn’t about loo brushes, and there have been other threads about that… but, seriously??? So many questions and all disgusting! What happens if there are skid marks? Do you just leave them there for the next person to see? (Because that’s somehow better than a loo brush?!?) Or do you and the family (and guests) call down to your husband every time? ‘Darling, I’ve done an atrocious shite, can you come and clean it up’…?
And how is he cleaning the loo? One cannot but wonder if your (presumably rather resentful) DH isn’t sometimes tempted to use a toothbrush!

We have so many bins;
Kitchen x3 (food, normal, recycling)
Lounge, Dining and cloakroom have 1 each
Bathroom and all bedrooms/office have at least one
Garage and shed also have 1 each

Outside we have 5 wheelie bins and a food caddy.

I make that 20 bins 😂

I actually did not have a kitchen bin in my last house. It’s hard to explain but the kitchen layout didn’t allow for one at all. We were just used to it.

In my new house, I have one built into one of the cupboards. However, nothing food related etc goes into it because it makes it smell, so we still put a lot straight into the outdoor bins.

Daughter has a bin in her dressing room for the 567,452 cotton pads and other such things she seems to use daily but no other bins upstairs. I think it just becomes a chore to have to go round and empty them all.

I have bins in kitchen and bathrooms but they are never disgusting and smelly. The food scraps are mainly thing like vegetable peelings, egg shells and maybe leftover pasta, etc and they don’t go smelly in my kitchen! It probably helps that the bin is small, so it’s not like a huge fetid, overflowing bin with masses of smelly takeaways etc…

Have you never heard of plastic bags???? Also you have dirty blood soaked sanitary towels just sitting in your house?

Remind me never to visit for dinner

I suppose this isn’t something we have ever had to think about because I don’t have periods, and daughter exclusively uses period knickers.

When I did have periods though, the tampons would have been bagged and put in the outside bin, yes. I thought that’s what everyone would do.

I am now questioning my bin habits.

My parents only had (and still have) one bin in the kitchen too.

I judge those who don’t provide a bathroom bin for guests. Fair enough in your en-suite or whatever but seriously don’t make your guests walk around your house carrying their used sanitary ware!

Well unless going through the bin

just drop your rubbish on top

Of course but still revolting imho.

Funnily enough dh’s dad is the same cleaning the toilet is his job so dh actually offered it up as his job!

He empties out the water, gets whatever his chemical of choice is that day and a sponge. The whole seat comes off and everything for a good job.

If I was to happen to leave a skid I’d just use some toilet roll to wipe it away and then wash my hands. Though fortunately maybe, my movements would be near impossible to leave such a thing.

Im actually thinking and honestly the person who makes skids is dh really I can’t think of the last time I went into the bathroom and saw the toilet marked apart from after dh. Maybe that’s another reason he voluntarily cleans the toilet 😅

Food waste, coffee grounds and such goe in the green food waste bags which has its own food caddy inside that then gets emptied in the outside food caddy.

Bin bag is for dry non recyclable items.

So, you do have a bin. A green food caddy being a bin.

The inside food caddy bin lives in the walkway just off the kitchen. Technically still outside but just outside the kitchen door.

House has a weird layout. You go outside inside to get to different parts.

What if someone has a streaming cold watching tv in the lounge?

We have two. One for general waste and one for recycling. They have to be separated for wheelie bins so it just easier to keep them separate all the time. A friend of mine doesn't, I was helping her cook one day and all her rubbish was put in a carrier bag which went straight into the wheelie bin outside when we had finished cooking.
