Kitchen Bin Debate !

Can you survive without a decent sized kitchen bin?

My fab DH who is pretty chilled was far from pleased to return home to find out that his (beloved) bin has departed ............ ok - I was fed up of the stainless steel type brabantia thing - substantial size - as
(a) it always has finger marks all over it never mind how often you try to keep it clean
(b) DH always stuffs/crams rubbish into it so that it overflows/or bags split /rip
(c) there is nowhere to hide it in our kitchen

He keeps threatening to bring it back in from the garage where I dumped it thinking I would reuse it for keeping kindling in or holding garden stuff on the grounds that he is fed up not having a bin to put waste/rubish in when he is cooking etc.

I have put the very small "innards" of our provided food waste bin under the kitchen sink so we can put rubbish in when cooking but DH says it is not big enough. I have looked online to see if there are any fancy solutions or aesthetically nice looking bins (that don't cost silly £) but no luck so far.

Personally not sure why he is so devoted to it ??? but then whilst he is lovely he also crams anything & everything into dishwasher as if his life depended on how much he could squeeze/squash in to it !

What do you do ?

I have a new three compartment slide-out bravantia bin in my under sink cupboard so I can separate general waste, glass/plastic/metal and paper. It is a thing of wonder, wish I'd got one years ago.
