All garbage is not equal. Most of us have both wastebaskets and garbage cans in our homes. The major garbage can is usually in the kitchen, and that container holds food scraps, wet garbage, and garbage picked up by the broom and dustpan. The wastebaskets in the bedrooms are fine for paper and non- food garbage. So are the wastebaskets in the hallway and family room. Bathroom wastebaskets hold paper and refuse from hygiene and grooming. One should not throw an apple core, for example, in the bathroom or bedroom wastebasket. Any garbage that catches the interest of critters should be placed in the kitchen garbage can, because it usually has a lid. It is also regularly put outside to be taken away by the garbage truck.
Now, some may think this is all a little strict, but it has a lot to do with one's upbringing. What's funny (or not) is when 2 or more people with different garbage can and wastebasket rules live in the same home.
