We have a little garbage bin and a big recycling bin. We average about 1 large bin bag, from the kitchen, a couple of plastic bags of rubbish from DD's room (wipes & nappy liners, have to empty it at least twice a week or it starts getting stinky!) and maybe one plastic bag from the bathroom. That generally fills the bin, but doesn't overflow. Our recycling bin is usually full when it gets emptied fortnightly. I try and sort as much as I can, but often DF doesn't care and just puts rubbish wherever..annoys me to no end!

ETA: I'd really like to start a compost heap...I throw out a fair bit of food, between scraps (stuff that can't go to the dog), food that DD throws on the floor or doesn't eat and food that just gets wasted...I think that would cut down our rubbish a bit.
