Bin bags - best buys? Boring but after this just happened..

[Sheraz]

the whole lot including leek and potato soup all over the floor. I need really strong bags for a 40litre bin. Just tried the poly lina recycled ones, trying to be good, ny reward a floor full of c**p.

Try the ones from Totally Degradeable Plastics. Why were you throwing away soup anyway?

Lidl has some white binbags with a yellow drawstring that are ace. big enough too.

The soup was too lumpy to put down sink and was er 'growing things' on it!

I'd put it down the toilet meself - the less that goes to landfill (or onto your kitchen floor) the better

God I had never thought of that, what a great idea my loo is near the bin. Thanks Tick! Learnt something new today.

Simplehuman website do great ones, and Brabantia ones are strong (40 or 50 litres)

Happy to help

Can I just point out that putting stuff down the loo apart from poo and wee is NOT better for the environment than putting it in the bin

Now very confused - but next month go onto 2 bin system and will be getting my kitchen crock for food stuff. Yippee!

Why not KTP? Cooked food can't be composted and if it goes to landfill it can't even rot if it is encased in plastic and so it produces methane.

what do they do with the sifted stuff at the waterworks = where does all the sewage go? and anything else thats been washed away?

As much water as possible is removed at the sewage works and cleaned to return to a river. The solids used to be dumped at sea but that's no longer allowed. Some are incinerated and some spread on farmland - neither of which are ideal solutions - so the less unecessary things that are thrown down the toilet the better....

Mmmm, nothing like a discussion about sewage at breakfast time .
I probably would've put soup down the loo too

I would put soup down the loo, what do you suggest as the best other option KTP?

lild do some really really strong white ones,honestly they're stronger than brabantia ones!They fit in my 50l brabantia bin,

A whole nation of people put their mouldy soup down the waste disposal here, presumably it ends up at the same place as if flushed down toilet - or am I missing something?

I use biodegradeable bin bags, can't bear the thought of my rubbish being around for ever and ever!!I have pedal-sized bags that can go in composter.

So the difference between eating the soup and then the "result" gets flushed away and just pouring the soup down the toilet is??

Sorry but I really don't get this. (Can you tell I flush soup too??)

Other options with soup/casseroley type things is to pour into a colander and put chunky stuff in bin while liquid goes down sink. Suppose that's not goo either then?

So what are you supposed to do?
