If I had to pick the single most common gripe, it's definitely the smell. No matter how often you take the trash out, that bin seems to develop a permanent, unpleasant odor, especially in the summer heat. It just lingers. A very close second is pests. Raccoons, rats, stray cats—they all see an outdoor bin as an all-you-can-eat buffet. They knock it over, rip bags open, and leave a huge mess to clean up every morning. Then there's the issue of the bins themselves. Cheap plastic bins crack and break, wheels fall off, and lids never seem to stay on when it's windy, sending trash flying all over the yard. People also complain about bins being too small, leading to constant overflow, or too large and heavy to move when full. Finally, there's the sheer eyesore of it. No one wants an ugly, stained bin sitting in front of their house. The good news? Many of these have fixes. Using heavy-duty bags, sprinkling baking soda inside, securing lids with bungee cords, and giving bins a regular rinse can make a world of difference. Investing in a quality, animal-proof bin is often worth the cost for the peace of mind alone.
