Waste bins

I am wondering about buying waste bins for my house - possibly bedrooms and bathrooms. I'm wondering which rooms need them. Out of interest, which rooms do you find it most useful to have a waste bin in? Cheers!

We only have bins in 1 bathroom (out of 3) and the kitchen. It means we have to stay disciplined about taking rubbish downstairs/to the bathroom but I think it looks less cluttered that way.

I have a 3 storey house with kitchen downstairs, bedroom and living room in the middle and bedrooms and bathroom up top. I have 2 bins in the kitchen for recyclable/gen waste and bins in both upstairs bathroom and sons room also on top floor. I empty both bins on the top floor at the same time, my son was filling up the bathroom bin daily so it made sense to get his own. I could do with one on the middle floor really lol.

We have waste bins in every room in the house! Lidded bins in both bathrooms, food waste & non recyclable in the kitchen, bins in bedrooms, living room and conservatory are for non recyclable only. Recycling goes in a basket by the front door. General waste is only collected fortnightly so I just go round all the rooms on evening before bin day with a bin bag and empty the bins takes just a couple of minutes.

Bins in bathrooms and kitchen are a must. My kids have bins in their bedrooms too. Nothing in living or dining room.

Kitchen (large for waste and recycling), each bathroom small peddle bins. Small wastepaper basket in each bedroom. No bins in downstairs living space as can easily go to kitchen.

One in my OHS office he produces a lot of paper waste so that goes into the recycling once a week, non in the bathroom no kids in the house, one big one in the kitchen for general waste, recycling ones outside on the patio
