Taking a bin is as ridiculous as taking an ironing board camping .

You are entitled to your opinion but, clearly, a lot of people here want to keep their camping area tidy and so do take something. I'm not suggesting your area isn't tidy BTW. I don't take an ironing board camping and I don't take the kitchen sink either (just a washing up bowl). When I am cooking and I want to put things in the bin then it is a lot easier with a fold flat bin than messing around with bin bags. I do it because it suits my needs. As I said, it fits under the seat in the car so doesn't take up any room that could be used by anything else. I am sure you have your own methods of disposing of your rubbish but it doesn't mean that anyone else's methods are any less valid. Everyone is different! Simple.

We use one of these

http://www.worldofcamping.co.uk/695-ekologika-waste-bin



I had one of these, and broke the lid on the second trip.

If I were to get another one, I'd make sure I use bigger bin liners with it so that I don't have to struggle with putting them on.

Be warned that local wide life would try and have a go in getting into the bag looking for food.

Hence I prefer the supermarket plastic bag tied to a table job, as it is higher off the ground and not so easy for the wide life to get into it.

DK


I've had mine about 15 years now and still going strong. If the bin liners are too short, I just leave out one set of tubes to reduce the height of the bin. I also use a thick bin bag with a thinner perfumed bag inside it if it stands outside.  This seems to deter animals from investigating the contents - then just take out and dispose of the inner bag daily.

Each to their own, and that applies to whether to carry and use a bin or not?

We have a smallish square bucket with a hinged lid. I pop in a carrier bag and empty it frequently. OK there are only 2 of us so we don't create much mess but, I think in a tent that you have to get rid of waste ASAP for hygiene and to prevent insect life - or worse - from moving in. Bottles get collected on the ground ready for recycling. When empty, I use it to transport our nightlights and loo roll.

I bought it initially as a 'slops bucket' as I hate it when people throw milky drinks away on grass.

Failing that, the good ole trick of a carrier bag bungeed to the kitchen stand makes a good substitute and doesn't take up room in the car.

Find what works for you, your camping lifestyle and the space you have to store and transport.

Do campers 'peg it'?

Well thats your opinion and to say we are ridiculous for taking a bin is rude and uncalled for. All campers generate rubbish but we dont all iron clothes on holiday.

We have a roll of bin liners in the equipment box.
Like Jelboy we dispose of it daily-ish if heading that way.

All glass or cans are taken to recycling, either locally or they come home and recycled there.

Yes, the car is bigger than the 'van.

We have three square plastic buckets: the red one acts as fire bucket/beer cooler; silver for washing up; blue for waste. They sit inside each other for travel, with pegs/hammer in square tool box; and 5l water container. It's a miracle of compactness of which I'm very proud.

The waste bit is usually a 20l drawstring rubbish bag for tea bags/food debris, with a carrier bag for recyclables.

Yes bin liners for us too - I find the Aldi swing bin liners with handles are the strongest.

I’ve just ordered this one. Wilko’s don’t have it these days. Good price and matches your description. Thanks for the tip.
