Overflowing Bins? The Nightmare Every Holiday Let Owner Faces (And How to Fix It)

Have your guest ever arrived to your property and found this scene in front of them?

Running a holiday let should be a rewarding experience, but when guests leave bins overflowing, it becomes a frustrating and costly problem. Nothing tarnishes a perfect guest experience quite like stepping outside to find rubbish spilling out of the bins, attracting pests, and creating an eyesore. If you’ve experienced this headache before, you’re not alone.

The Real Cost of Overflowing BinsMany holiday let owners struggle with waste management, particularly during peak seasons. Guests often don’t think twice about where their rubbish goes, and without clear guidance, bins fill up fast—leading to complaints, bad reviews, and even local authority fines.We spoke to several holiday let owners about their experiences.

Here’s what some had to say:

“We had guests leave overflowing bins for the next arrivals—it was an absolute mess! The new guests complained straight away, and we had to send someone out at short notice.” – Sam, Alnwick

“We’ve had to deal with missed collections and guests putting waste in the wrong bins. It’s not just frustrating, it’s a risk to our customer review scores on Tripadvisor and the booking sites” - Susan, Bamburgh
