You’ve Been Using Bin Bags ALL WRONG. Here’s A Life-Changing Tip…

Katie Mythen-Lynch

It’s the household chore most of us try to avoid like the plague.

Taking the bins out is not just gross (there’s potential leakage to worry about, grim smells… errant banana skins *retch*), it’s also a complete fiasco: there’s the old rubbish to transfer to the wheelie bin (in your slippers, natch) the roll of bin bags to locate in the junk drawer, the new bin bag to fit into the smelly bin.

If only there was a way to to make this less traumatic.

Well, it turns out there is. It seems we’ve been missing a trick when it comes to the bins. This Russian dolls trick ensures that when you pull out the full bag of rubbish, there’s a fresh clean one ready and waiting underneath.

Step 1: Tear off ten separate bin bags from a roll.

Step 2: Open up one bin bag, then open up another and place one inside the other.

Step 3. Keep adding bin bags until all ten are opened

Step 4: Pop your bag of bin bags into your bin, folding the edges over the top.

Thank us next time your bin juice is neatly contained within the next bag in the line.
