Do you have trash cans in your bedrooms?

[Guest]

A group of friends and acquaintances and us rented a large Air B&B in Palm Springs for their pride weekend (I'd never previously attended, and was very impressed). The organizers (close friends of ours) slept in the master bedroom and said they'd leave in their feedback that they wished the master bedroom had blinds, since they were awoken with light at the crack of dawn. I said he might add that they could put some trash cans in their bedrooms. He said he'd leave the comment, although he never has trash cans in his bedrooms and doesn't think most people do. Another guest at the house chimed in that he didn't have a trash can in his bedrooms, either. I came out of that conversation fairly surprised. Is it really that unusual to have trash cans in bedrooms? I have a trash can in almost every room of the house, from bedroom to office to kitchen (obviously), living room, party room, and bathrooms. Are these trash cans unusual?

Wastebaskets are more common inside  a house. Trashcans are usually outside.

I have one in every room of my house. The expectation is that any food waste goes in the kitchen garbage which is emptied at most every two days. Cum rags, condoms, q-tips and tissues are all appropriate for bedroom trash cans in my house.

I have nice wastebaskets (of metal and wicker) in my study and kitchen.  In my upstairs bath, I have a huge stone pot for refuse, etc.  ...none in living room or bedroom.

I call waste recepticals outside trash cans. Under the kitchen sink I have a covered garbage can with a removable plastic liner. In each bedroom and home office I have waste baskets. In the bathrooms small ceramic or plastic waste bins. They all have a specific purpose. What you call them is somewhat semantic.

I forgot I also have a recycle bin outside the back door off the kitchen.

No I don’t.

According to @Unicorn in his first post, the biggest issue by far  was no shades or curtains in the bedroom.

I have a waste basket in my master bedroom.

I grew up in a household where there was a box of facial tissue and a waste  basket in every room except the dining room and front parlor.  The rear drawing room had multiple waste baskets and facial tissue dispensers, so that every chair or sofa was within reaching distance of both.  I've turned that down a notch; there's only one waste basket in my rear drawing room nowadays.  I could probably get rid of the waste basket in my drawing room, because I use it even less than the basket in my master bedroom.

Another quirk of mine: I don't conceal the kitchen bin behind a cabinet door.  The thought of having to constantly touch a wooden door with greasy hands to dispose of food waste does not appeal to me.

I have no shades or curtains in my kitchen, downstairs drawing room, or upstairs play room.

One time I hosted an orgy that started in the drawing room, with two guys on their backs on the leather ottoman and four guys surrounding them.  I then remembered that I had no blinds or curtains so I gradually moved the activity into my master bedroom.

Having shades drawn in rooms where you are playing is only necessary when neighbours or passersby can see in. This is particularly the case at night assuming there is some light in the room. I like highrise hotels for that reason when there are no buildings opposite and the lit up city skyline provides a nice backdrop.

I always check out the situation each time I'm in a new hotelroom to make sure no-one can see in even using a telescope.

Waste basket in bedroom.  Rectangle garbage container between vanity and toilet in bathroom, and can under sink in kitchen.  Nothing in the living room.  

[+ poolboy48220]

I rented a room in a house when I was in my early 30's.  Another guy renting a room went berserk when I put the plastic wrapper around the package of toilet paper in the bathroom wastebasket.  Apparently it was "too big to go in there".  He took it out & put it inside my bedroom - twice.

Largish one in the kitchen, small ones in the 2 baths (inside the sink base) small one in the main bedroom, office type in the second which is mostly used as an office. Small in laundry room. That it, is it so hard to stand up in the living area and take your trash to the kitchen - that's usually where I'm going next anyway.

[+ LIguy]

small wastebaskets throughout the house which I keep lined with those vegetable plastic bags from the produce section of the supermarket and larger waste pail in kitchen.

And shades blinds and curtains on all windows because I like it dark when I sleep.

I keep a trash basket in the adjoining bathrooms but not in the bedrooms.

I myself would more than welcome a crack at dawn and in my mind’s eye it would be imbued with a heavenly very arousagenic light. He might be the actual sole trash in the bedroom while it is unlikely I would be deemed such. 😌

I have always had wastebaskets in the bedrooms and bathrooms, and next to our office desks. I don't have them in the living or dining room. I have three covered containers in the kitchen: trash, recyclables, compost. Everything eventually gets emptied into the three trashcans outside: "trash," "recyclables," "green waste" (kitchen compost and landscaping, such as leaves, clippings from bushes and trees).

Small wastebaskets in bathroom don't work for me.  Use same size in kitchen and bathroom.

I am quite the opposite. In a hotel room I will leave the curtains open if I am playing as I like the backdrop and I do not particularly care if anyone looks into the room.  In fact, if I thought someone was watching, I might play toward giving them a good show.  At my age and in my shape, I probably would not have many people in watching me, my partners on the other hand would likely draw a crowd.  

As to wastebaskets.  In the adjoining bath but not the bedroom itself.  Under the counter in the kitchen.  No others as I live with three canines and what you call a wastebasket, they call a buffet.

Wastebaskets in my bedroom, in the bathrooms, and in the study; trash can in the kitchen. Nothing in the living room or the dining room. 

[dutchal]

Wastebaskets under the sinks in the kitchen and both bathrooms, waste basket in the living/dining room and the master bedroom, but none in the second bedroom/study/TV room.

[jeezifonly]

When renting out a space, it’s always better to provide more options for disposal than fewer. Assume maximum laziness in every guest.

This is what I do. However in my guest room I do have a waste bin as well as Facial Tissue, lotion, and spare chargers. So if any guest use it they have needed items without having to ask.

Trash can in the kitchen and three bathrooms.  I also have a shredder in my office space that doubles as a trash can.

Your office space doubles as a trashcan?
