The reason why we only needed 1 dustbin is because.... our Mums went shopping for 'fresh' food a couple of times a week to local family run shops, so not alot of packaging needed. Also what scraps were left, or the little packaging used, then was went on the open fire back every day, because we didn't have central heating.

A joint of meat was bought on Saturday ready for 'the family' Sunday dinner, eaten cold with either fresh veg or chips, baked beans and egg on Monday and made into a stew on Tuesday. 3 meals out of 1!
