Where Do You Put Your Garbage and Dirty Dishes?

[Swirl]

Forgot to mention the I bring all my ingrediants to my shows...so this works great for that. I put everything I'm going to need during the demo in the drawer so through the show I'm pulling stuff out I need and putting the dirty dishes and trash back in it. Works wonderful!

I line a large Rubbermaid tub with a clean trash can liner. I fill it with clean products, I have my crate, a bin for my catalogs, TTA and sometimes my SA tote or stoneware tote.
When a host does insist on doing my dishes, I politely let them know that I have left far too many tools behind in a dish drainer Also, I pop them into my dishwasher, wash my bin out and re-line it with a clean liner.
I too make two trips and if I bring my table in 3.
I found if I used my rolling tote that I tended to bring way too many products and I actually was making one more trip. I like using my crate and I know that is not what most people like to use at their parties, but it works for me!
I like Jillysue's idea about putting the PC logo on the side of the bin...maybe guests won't think it is a trash bin!!!
I will keep my garbage at the host's house whenever possible.

I use a garbage bowl too, usually one of our SS Bowls. Now I can use my 8qt one since it'll be a new product in May!

Good ideas about the trash bowl and the orange citrus spray (I hate driving home in a van reeking of garlic!) I will use those ideas!

I take one of those super stretchy trash bags with me and after I have unloaded my crate for my show, I open it inside my crate then just pile all the dirty dishes in there. It keeps my crate relatively clean and I leave with just the amount of stuff I came with. I don't want to use a tote cuz then I'll have more stuff!

I usually use the middle stainless steel bowl with a plastic bag in it for my trash--I usually comment about how Rachel Ray has one & I like the idea. Then I put an old towel in the bottom of my crate & put my dirty stuff in there. I learned when I got juice all over my trunk after my first show that I needed the towel. So it keeps my car, my crate & the host's floor clean!

I take a trash can with a clean liner to my shows. As I demonstrate a product, anything dirty goes into the trash can. This is kind of an ice breaker because someone will always mention that I just threw my food chopper, etc away. I then talk about how easy it is to host a show because I come into your home, prepare the food, clean up and take the dirty dishes home with me.
