Gross we have 2 10l and a compost, like to change the bag frequently so house doesn’t smell of rotting food or in recent past shitty nappies (#3 in world landfill)
How does a general waste bin pong? What ate you putting in it? Food waste in the food bin, recycling rinsed and in the recycling bin. The only food contamination in the general waste bin is non-recyclable plastics from fish packs, and it's easy enough to rinse them off (e.g. put em in the sink and pasta cooking water poured over) if the general waste bin doesn't need emptying for another few days.
30l under sink for the small amount of regular rubbish, emptied regularly. 1 x kitchen unit that houses 2 x 50l recycling receptacles, one for card, the other for bottles and cans.
Works well with the only issue being the bottles and cans bin can smell a bit like stale beer the day after we have a party and people dump dregs in there.
OB is correct. 15l under sink, smaller food waste caddy. I don't want more rubbish than that sitting around in my kitchen. Paper and card basket in my office, all other recycling goes by the back door and then straight to the bin when I go outside.
I've got the simple human double sensor bin you can talk to to open, it's handy when you want to scrape some sh1t in off a plate and need it to stay open and have no hands free, annoying that you have to it in a yank accent though. Sensor works well though and has lasted a good few years so far.
Bins stink. They stink less if they are smaller and changed more regularly and cleaned well and you have good categorisation. But they still stink because shit and menstrual waste stinks as does stale fish packaging and a world of other stuff because bins stink.
I find not taking a dump in the bin helps with the smell.
I have two caddies in a slide out rack under the sink for recycling and general waste. Anything compostable goes in a bowl on the work surface. Larger items of recycling and rubbish go straight in the main bin as it's only a short walk from the kitchen.
You have open compost on the kitchen side sails but are being judgy about nappies ?! Do you not get fruit flies / blue bottles / carrion with all that?
Obviously no one goes and turds in the bin, but the bin is where the nappy covered turds go - either a bathroom bin or a kitchen bin, but bin they must go in.
Ahh OB, u should have asked for my wisdom sooner. We had a magical device i to which nappies were deposited thru a smelltight trapdoor thing into a sealed plastic bag. When full, this could be remived and tied into a long plastic poo filled sausage and put in the outside bin. Absolute game changer
You wouldnt know this Davos being famously vommon, but Debrett's suggests that the correct way of disposing of the blue poo sausage is to heave it over one shoulder and loudly sing the hi ho song on the way to the wheelie bin.
One day archaeologists will stumble across the fossilised remains of a nappy sausage. A ritual prayer sausage worshipping the deity of infant defecation.

don’t forget to buy the correct bin bags

Just get a skip and put it in your kitchen. Most waste should be recyclable these days, so not sure why it needs emptying so frequently.

Have one of these for black bin stuff and a big box under the sink for recycling. Life saver having a huge bin you don't have to empty too often.

Ah, the nappy sausage machine. Deposit it in the top and then a couple of swift turns, and it disappears. Absolute quality.
Even so, after our first 2 it still had a bit of a whiff that couldn't be scrubbed away, so we got another one.

Sausage bin might be handy if you live in a flat. Everyone else should get it outside within 30 seconds ideally.
