buy new rubbish bin for quietspace - standard size

@nelsonic didn't you order this but it was out of stock? Would you be able to check and reorder the one you had found or send me the link and I'll do it?

Hi @markwilliamfirth the bin I was looking at was for a different purpose. (I was looking for a compost bin for the veranda @ home...) But I can investigate options for a "general" waste bin for QuietSpace ...

We need specific criteria for what we are looking for in a waste bin. My top 7 criteria are:

fits specific (reasonably priced) refuse bags.
easy to remove the bags when they need to be changed
has a lid so smells do not escape
not made from a material that will degrade (rust/tarnish) and look terrible after a few months.
easy to clean inside
practicality above appearance (i.e. not the "Joseph Joseph Stack" as it's got a small "opening" and is tedious to take out the contents and replace the bag! and has non-standard sized bags!)
reasonably attractive (not the cheapest)

Can anyone else think of criteria/requirements for a bin? And also, how many should we get? @otajor does the bin upstairs get used much?

@nelsonic we have two kind of paper-basket type bins. They both get used a moderate amount but more for stuff that doesn't need a plastic bin-bag. If there were a more serious bin upstairs I reckon it would get used too.

I favour something you don't have to touch to open (and where the waste doesn't touch the lid) and is easy to clean like: https://www.amazon.co.uk/simplehuman-Litre-Plastic-Slim-Pedal/dp/B004L9L3KW/

nelsonic commented 7 years ago

Sending back the bin - has been repackaged with return label. Hermes will be collecting it on Monday

New bin has been purchased - should be arriving next week

nelsonic commented 7 years ago

@markwilliamfirth link to new one? (curiosity...) 😉

iteles commented 7 years ago

It's there! And I put up a little sign to explain the hand waving to people because folks were just yanking the lid open.

Need to formalise the sign but other than that I think we can close this!

ghost commented 7 years ago

People can open the lid if they want - it works manually too
