Keep ours outside. Inside just isn't an option. Not enough room and I wouldn't want all that old junk inside the house anyway.
Me when we got the blue (recycling bin) bin i bought another swing bin for the kitchen and with tippex marked on it recycling only and stuck above it the leaflet what you could put in it. When its full just take the binbag out and tip it into the blue bin outside. The little compost bin is stuck inbetween them. Papers gets thrown in a carrier bag and behind the back door.
Neil said:I would not keep mine inside either. Just think if you little lad gets hold of the empty tin cans and cuts his fingers.
Yup my daughters done that recently too & the box was outside & she decided to fling the box in a mood & caught her finger on the descreet sharp tin....teach her that arguing with blue box has its drawbacks like it bites back pmsl!!

I have not started recycling the tins...i recycle the paper,cardboard,glass jars and plastic bottles.
HC are going to read this and be onto me now lol.
But Jack does not seem to take an interest in the recycling bins anyway,which is strange because his into everything else as you will know seeing as Jack and E.K will be at the same stage, as they were born on the same day
We stll don't seem to have uniformity about where the tins go. We put our tins in the sack with the plastic bottles.
Paper recycling bag is on two hooks above floor level in the garage.....plastics in an old bin with a lid......again in the garage.......and the tins are also in a lidded bin in the garage. Mmm....wonder if I could charge the council rent for the space they occupy?
My white paper sack goes in my front room because paper is clean and doesn’t stink.
My blue sack for plastic bottle etc gets stuffed behind my kitchen door in a tiny cubby-hole and the plastic containers I put in there don’t really smell that much because most have lids/ caps.
My blue box is in my back yard and it stays there, with it being covered in green mould, slugs, spiders, rain water and cat pee I opted not to carry it through my home. Instead I collect my glass bottles etc in empty plastic tessco carrying bags and store them in my now redundant old black bustbin which I had kept and every now and then I take the full bags down to my local recycling site.

I keep mine in the cupboard under the stairs and that is the only reason that I was everything out before putting them in the box or blue sack
I used to keep the paper sack in the house until it got mucky and yucky on collection day, now it lives outside with the rest.
I keep mine in the blue bin next to my front door. By the way my front door is at the side of the house so it dont look messy when driving down our street.
