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)

God I’d hate that.

I have the bins that my region requires me to have:
general waste
plastic etc. recycling
paper recycling
food waste

And on top of that I have a toilet bin and a bin in the bedroom.

I don't have an outside bin because I live in a flat.

No difference really, tampons don't magically vanish in a bathroom bin do they.. The tampon fairy...

Just something else to gather dust.

So you change a tampon in the bathroom and then carry it through to another room or outside?

It’s the carrying it to the kitchen bin when I was a guest in someone else’s house that I would hate, just to be clear.

This thread is so bizarre, I can’t understand how a household can’t have at least a kitchen bin and a bathroom bin. Those have have said they use a carrier bag, isn’t that worse?

No bin?

Ridiculous.

Do they throw their rubbish in the garden?
Or balcony?

How revolting

Yep. I have a general waste bin in the kitchen, plus a separate bin for my recycling in there. Plus, a bathroom bin and then a waste paper in the lounge and bedrooms too.

I feel like carrier bags cost 30/40p now as well 😕

I live in a flat too, its not easy to just go to the bin every time you need to empty rubbish

I feel like emptying it every morning before the school run is the best way, if youre in a flat

But why? I've never noticed my guests' wrapped up tampons in the bin in the kitchen cupboard, whereas I would in a sweaty little bathroom bin. Can't stand the things.

Because I don’t want to be carrying tampons wrapped in toilet roll around someone else’s house.
I like to make my guests feel comfortable, and providing a bathroom bin for sanitary products is just part of that. Even if it does get dusty.

I have 4 in kitchen. Recycle, glass, food, mixed waste. All emptied daily

One in bathroom. Thats it

Bin in every room, just for non-recyclables.

Card/paper and non-recyclable bins in kitchen, plus composting bin.

Plastic/cans/glass directly into recycling bins outside.

Very odd imho to spend time every day carrying waste around imho.

We didn’t have a bin in my first house. The kitchen was tiny and the bathroom was next to it separated by the back door.
We used to put a carrier bag near the back door for rubbish or just put it straight outside.
Now we do have a kitchen bin a food caddy and bathroom bid in the downstairs loo and family bathroom.
I refuse to have a recycling bin inside as well though.
If it was just me I’d get rid of them except the food one and that gets emptied daily.
I don’t understand why people store so much rubbish in the house when they don’t need to.

I use a moon cup. I have a bin in the downstairs loo for guests. AFAIK nobody’s ever used it though.

Kitchen bin for non smelly, non food waste. This is only emptied when it’s full. Food waste caddy in the kitchen, with compostable liners. This is emptied every other day. Then there is a bathroom bin in the bathroom next to the spare room and one in our bathroom. Recycling we take out every evening. The milk bottles go on the windowsill until the milkman comes, but I don’t think they count as recycling.

The carrier bag is still a bin.

I agree that carrying a tampon into a kitchen bin is so obvious you're on your period. I'd feel so uncomfortable doing that.

Straight out of the bathroom and into the kitchen bin with sanitary products. Weird abbreviations not needed.

No more obvious than the tampon being in the bathroom bin after you've left and someone else having to deal with it.

A bin in each bathroom but none in the kitchen.

Not needed but quicker to type!

The host emptying the bathroom bin full of sanitary products makes it obvious you're on your period too, tbf.

It's not shameful, or embarrassing.

Who goes around eyeballing what guests are putting in the bigger kitchen bin anyway?

Kitchen bin, bins in each bedroom, bins in each bathroom and 3 bins in the living room. I don't understand people who don't have bins. Are you getting up every few minutes to put shit in the outside bin?

I just empty the bathroom bin into a bin liner, I don’t inspect the contents.

Growing up we had bathroom bins but sanpro had to be hidden in a plastic bag under the sink before being taken to the outside bin for some mysterious reason
