I always (ahem, I try to) have a second trash bag liner under the current liner. I originally didn't do this and had boxes of leftovers stuffed into the waste baskets.
So i thought, if I do this then they pull it up around the rubbish and they might see the spare, which many do now.
So oftentimes I go into a room and the basket has been emptied as they used the liner for their leftovers and tied it up and then there is a fresh waste basket..
I do that too, except there are usually at least 4 in the bottom. Mostly for my convenience if the bag had a tear with something wet or something. I also have at least 2 trash cans in the rooms - one in the bathroom and one in the room which is larger. I discovered their problem - the room trash can was full of the empty water bottles from their car or something (different brand that what I have stocked now). I have a smaller trash can in the guest service area for a reason. I could see people just cramming all their stuff up there & it would stink up the hallway if I didn't get to it right away. But, I'm thinking of adding something for recycling...just can't figure out where to put it in either house near the guest rooms. I have something already in the suite with the entire kitchen.

Usually guests leave all their plastic water bottles on a dresser or outside the basket, recycling.
But here is one you will enjoy soon - I just thought of it as I have twor ooms from the UK this weekend. Overseas guests - esp ones enroute back to DC or ATL to fly out will do a major clean out in a room. I mean of course if they are flying out that day or next day. They can fill entire baskets full of tags and fillers from things they have purchased. I can see Bree would have this issue being in a shopping area that she is. Shoe boxes, hangers, all sorts of stuff that they remove before flying home.
I actually appreciate the shoe boxes as we do
Operation Christmas Child every year, so from this business i get a half dozen extra shoeboxes. Because they CAN'T fit in the baskets, they are never in the trash, so always clean.
