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)

Once you've left is the key there.

Wheras walking to the kitchen bin while there announces it while you're still in their house.

We have bins in every room.
In the kitchen we have a rubbish, food waste and recycling bins as well as collecting soft plastics to take to the local supermarket for recycling. Anything smelly goes straight outside
We have small bins in bathrooms which only have the cardboard roll and paper cover from toilet roll. All my family use reusable sanitary products so I'm not worried about smells in the bins.
Our living room, study and bedroom bin only has package and paper waste. They periodically put these bins into the recycling and pull out any things for the bin.
The only bin that is smelly is the bin in the nursery which has nappies, we also do cloth nappies so have a bin of used cloths wipes and nappies.

So many bins! What are you putting in THREE living room bins? We have one inside bin in the entire (big) house.

Bin in every room including sitting room.

I have lots of bins…….
Kitchen
Bathroom
my bedroom
guest bedroom
Outside we have general, garden, paper/card, plastic/metal and food waste

Mine too! It's a pain in the arse, I usually take nappy sacks with me, collect all my rubbish in there and then take it to the outside bin once a day. Can't understand it!

My inlaws house is like this. Tiny kitchen with a tiny bin, no bathroom bins. I take a bin bag and nappy bags in my overnight bag so I don't have to traipse through their very tiny kitchen with my used tampons and pads.

I have so many questions! If no bathroom bin, where do you put:

used cotton pads don't use them
hair that's been cleared off a hairbrush kitchen bin
cotton buds don't use them
sheet masks don't know what this is
sanpro use reusable so they just go in the washing basket. On the odd occasion we do use single use ones, they just get wrapped and put in the kitchen bin
makeup wipes don't use
contact lenses don't use
blister packs of medication don't have many but we usually take any meds in the kitchen, not the bathroom. Then save the empty packs for recycling so they go in a zip lock bag in the kitchen cupboard where the meds are kept until one of us goes to a boots store to recycle them
the bits of plastic from a plaster kitchen bin

There are 5 of us including 2 x teenage girls and no one has any problems with the above. It just comes down to what you are used to mostly.

If I was a house guest, I'd be bagging my sanitary products and binning the bag at the end of the stay.

Kitchen bin.
Used to have bathroom bins but as they don't get full quickly, I hate having them. They get dusty or have drips and watermarks, just annoying and another thing to clean

We have a kitchen one which is emptied twice a week and a bathroom one which is emptied the same. We also collect up recycling which is sent out every other day.

We don’t have any other bins around the house.

No bins in my house aside from a waste-paper basket in the office. We used to have a pedal bin in the kitchen (so gross, the smell and the cleaning), but had to get rid when DS started crawling, he was obsessed with it!!! So we use a small plastic bag (e.g. empty bagel/sliced pan bag) on the kitchen counter for non-recyclable rubbish), we have a Tupperware box with a lid for the compostable waste and the recyclable stuff goes outside to the green wheelie bin once a day.

I have a kitchen bin for recycling, a kitchen caddy for food waste that is emptied usually every day, a bathroom bin and a bin beside the downstairs toilet.

I couldn't do without them as it would be too messy and involve constant trips outside.

My parents kept bins in the bedrooms and one in the kitchen but for some reason refused to see any need for one in the bathroom. I found that a nuisance when I was a teenager having periods as it meant you would always have to carry your used sanitary towels through the house.

Pretty much one in every room, but only 'clean' mess in bins other than the kitchen. My neighbour didn't have a bin though, just a bag hanging on kitchen door handle and removed every night outside. Too much faff for me but she didn't want the smell.

I used to do that anyway, never put sanitary into bathroom bin. I remember my uni flatmate putting them in the bathroom bin in our halls but never emptying them - only takes a couple of days for the smell to start in the summer. Really bad smell.

We have integrated bins in the kitchen (one section for food waste). Then bins in each bathroom and my dd has one in her room. Outside we have black, brown and blue wheelie bins then a set of 3 recycling. The recycling goes straight out (though sometimes a few bits congregate on the worktop near the door ).
I don’t understand how people can’t have bins inside. Do you throw every tiny bit of rubbish in the outside bins straight away?

We have kitchen bin, food/compostibles caddy, recycling trug. The last 2 get emptied daily.

We have 2 further bins - both wicker waste paper baskets. One in the sitting room and one upstairs. They mostly have used tissues in them and are not for recyclables. Once a week they get tipped into the kitchen bin.

I have one bin in kitchen . Couldn’t have one on every room would do my head in having to remember to empty them all. Also

They are pretty strict on bins here. You get fines if the wrong things are in your bin.
3 outside bins are emptied every 2 weeks, just the general waste costs extar so I try to reduce filling it up and try for once a month. The paper one is collected once a month.
I have a small bin in the bathroom and a bin in my office/craft room that is for paper, vinyl etc.
So to save me going out everyday I have a kitchen bin under the sink. I have a small box for food that I empty after cooking. I have also in the kitchen a plastic recycling bin and a paper recycling bin. Then I have a bag for returnable items that have a deposit like cans of coke etc. a bag for empty wine bottles or other bottles that have no deposit and a back for textiles as these are no longer allowed in general waste - so if I have a dishcloth that is wrecked it has to go in the Red Cross bin - they are now pissed off as they have to get rid of these things now - luckily much goes to make stuffing for car seats.
ouside I have wheelie bins for cardboard, plastics, food and garden waste plus the general waste

No bathroom bin is nasty

So people who don’t have bins are going outside every single time they get rid of a crisp packet, wrapper off something, make up pads, sanitary stuff, cleaning items. Anything non recyclable? You must be constantly going in and out in all weathers!
And yes imagine having to take a used tampon to the kitchen bin with no bathroom one!!

An open bag instead of a closed bin?! 🤣

Until I read this thread I have literally met one person who didn't have a bathroom bin (that I noticed as I stayed round a few days) and that was a single gay man. And after I told him it was a pita / not ideal to walk through his house with sanitary wrappers etc he got one!

Big lidded kitchen bin, and its mini mate in the bathroom. Kitchen food waste caddy which gets emptied into a dedicated outside bin along with garden waste. I have a wicker bin next to my dressing table but it’s just used for tissues, contact lens packaging etc. Recycling goes in a big crate thing in the utility room and DP transfers it into the brown bin when it fills up.

Wrap them up and put them in the big kitchen bin 🤷🏻‍♀️
