Waste disposal in the kitchen / Wall breakthrough

Build a kitchen with a waste separation system in the cabinet like everyone else?!

Cardboard/newspaper goes into a bin in the utility room, where supplies, tools, heating, and drink crates are also stored, or directly outside into the bin. Old glass is also stored there.

In the kitchen, we only have yellow/plastic and gray/residual waste. Yes, no organic waste, that leaks and stinks, it goes into the residual waste here. I stand by that.
We do have an organic waste bin but we only use it for garden waste. The waste disposal companies here do not allow biodegradable waste bags, i.e. everything in paper bags, and I’m not putting up with the mess anymore. There are four of us and we have 40 liters of residual waste per week, which I can live with in good conscience.

In your new house, you surely have a bigger kitchen than now, so the situation is more relaxed if one cabinet is used for waste collection. We are planning in our new kitchen a 40 cm pull-out base cabinet for waste: on top 2 bins for residual waste and plastic, below 2 for paper and glass. Organic waste in a bowl or something and directly out.

The direct throw-the-garbage-into-the-bin solution sounds charming. The reasons why this is hardly found in private houses have already been mentioned. A functioning solution would probably be pure luxury. A garbage room (a reciprocal pantry, so to speak) with an outside door could solve the problem. Of course, you are not alone with the garbage problem; presumably everyone finds garbage in the house annoying. With lack of discipline or stubbornness in partnership (it's the other's turn today), every bin is too small. That’s annoying – especially or particularly when it’s self-inflicted. Shopping with minimal packaging helps. Getting children to take out the trash also helps. For the organic waste, we have found a small odor-sealing container to be effective in combination with 2 Bokashi buckets (also odorless but still not in the kitchen) and a compost in the garden. We no longer have an organic waste bin.

Oh, you’re all stupid.... *crying*

Wow... cool ... Mimimi and whining of the finest kind, Kampfkarnickel

You can have your idea easier: open the window, take out the trash, close the window. In the morning, when you go to work, pick up the crap on the house wall.
Our neighbors do that with the diapers from the second floor ops:

...We do have a pantry next to the kitchen but it would be completely full of trash then...

Please don’t exaggerate: most people don’t even have a pantry and they manage it...

Taking out the trash immediately is also dumb and impractical. There’s no space in the kitchen to store bio, plastic, residual waste, glass.

Then plan a cabinet in your new kitchen like everyone else does, with 3-4 containers.
I can’t believe how even small trips are considered tedious. What do you do with the garden? You almost have to take care of it every day in summer... house trash is the least movement problem there. Let yourself be surprised

Plan the space for the bio-waste bin in the shade, preferably in the north. A compost heap is also a good idea, nothing stinks there either.
We have boxes where two bins fit. The yellow sacks also fit in there when they’re full. No one here complains... it’s our trash after all.
And you also have it in your hands to reduce trash – especially plastic!
And maggots cannot come from yogurt cups either: yogurt molds, maggots come from biological waste...

A box in the pantry for your glass stuff – and there’s surely a container near you, you’re just too lazy, admit it Or you have to drink less

we have a 100 cm base cabinet for the sink with 4 open buckets inside.
One contains a trash bag for residual waste, the other 3 hold stuff for the yellow sack, unfortunately that is still way too much.
Organic waste is collected in the smaller compartment of the sink in a sieve, so it dries and doesn’t soak the bin. Depending on the smell, it then goes into residual packing paper from the move and then into the bin.
Paper is stacked in the hallway next to the door and goes straight to the bin when going out.
And glass – there is a crate for that in the utility room, and when it’s full or when I feel like it, I take it to be emptied. I don’t see any problem with making extra holes in the thermal cover just to save myself a trip around the corner.

and someday the day will come when people say separating trash doesn't make sense, it all gets burned in the same pile anyway and then you've got 4 too many flaps

but seriously.. like most people we also have a 3-bin sorting system in a base cabinet, I collect organic waste, [Gelben Sack] and residual waste there. I make a pile of paper and throw it in the bin daily on the way to the car. We collect glass in the utility room in a shopping basket and take it away once a week on the way to [Muddern].

So nothing smells at my place and I don’t take out my organic waste daily.
