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)

No bins. Anywhere in flat.

Bin bag in kitchen goes out to communal recycling daily.

Saves housework. Miles quicker, more space, you get used to the efficiency very quickly.

My mum finds indoor bins kind of disgusting and so we just always took things straight outside

I have a kitchen bin but I share the bathroom bin disgust a bit

Bin in every room - absolutely essential in my opinion.

plus all the recycling going outside in the shed in the various boxes.

If you have no bin in the bathroom what do you do with period products?

What about your food waste? 👀

Yes, I have a kitchen bin and a bin in each bathroom. Those who don’t have bathroom bins, what are the women in the house or any guests supposed to do with sanitary products?

No bins for me. I put rubbish straight outside. But I do have a reason.
Growing up in the 70's my parents had a big Addis plastic flip flap kind of bin in the kitchen which was always lined with a black bin bag. My mum kept the bin clean and emptied it when it was full but more often than not the lid was off for cleaning. You couldn't avoid seeing inside it and I can't get past the sight and smell of food slop mingled in with fag ends from the ashtrays which were emptied in it in the evening. Eugh😧

We don’t have a food waste bin so it all goes in the main bin.
I know all councils are supposed to have introduced them by now but ours hasn’t!

We do have them but that for me is unhygienic! I dont know how 😄 but to just have your food rotting all together is gross

Thats the point

Yep. Kitchen bin, food waste bin, bathroom bin and a tiny one under my dressing table

So you walk around the house with used san pro?

One awful awful day, i'd left rice in the bin. I left the lid open, the kitchen window open and went out all day

Came home to m**gots and flies - from ONE day of having the window open!

Now i do empty the bin if there's food in it, promptly

@Supersimkin7So where does the bin bag go during the day if there’s no bin - does it just hang somewhere?

How many bin trips must people make in a day? I'd get bored of going outside. What about when it's pissing down?

No bathroom bin is gross, what do you do with tampons?

We empty our dry non recycling kitchen bin once ever 2 weeks or so.

No they go in the outside bin obviously

Pp with the bin bag in the flat, that's the same as having a bin.

Same.

So if you had guests you’d expect them to carry their sanitary products to the outside bin?

Nobody has tampons, but if guests do they would wrap in tissue and put in kitchen cupboard bin. This gets taken to the outside bin often.

"Alright Dave and Sharon, just dropping my tampon off outside"

Can you imagine how awkward that is as a visitor.

Kitchen bin and bathroom bin only. Its seems odd not to have a bin in the bathroom.

I saw this chat and was baffled, especially when they said they just use a carrier bag and take it out, having a carrier bag hung over the door or wherever it is looks so much more unsightly than a bin

This thread is fascinating! I had no idea there was so much variation. We have a kitchen bin which is the only bin downstairs (other than the food waste caddy), then a small pedal bin in the bathroom and a bin in our bedroom. It would drive me mental having to bring everything down to the kitchen to bin and we have a tiny house.

I'm so confused 😅 how can you not have a bin?!
