Avoid Placing Bins at the Entrance
In Feng Shui, the entrance holds significant importance as it is not just the gateway but also the area that welcomes external Qi and deities like God of Wealth. Hence, placing a trash bin at the entrance can lead to financial losses. Moreover, since the entrance creates the first impression of your home, a trash bin, especially an unclean one with overflowing waste or wastewater, can be an eyesore and negatively impact the aesthetics and harmony of your home.
Placing a trash bin at the entrance can disrupt the flow of positive energy. When you open the door to invite fresh Qi, the bin may cause the escape of beneficial Qi while drawing in negative Qi, along with unpleasant odors.
Keep Trash Bins Away from the Bedroom
The bedroom is a sanctuary for rest and privacy, where activities like reading, listening to music, and intimate conversations take place. A trash bin in this space can disrupt the peaceful and comfortable ambiance.
Whether it’s dry or wet waste, a bedroom trash bin can emit unpleasant odors from leftover food, used tissues, expired cosmetics, and more. These odors can permeate the entire room, affecting your mood and health. Bacteria and insects can also breed in the bin, spreading throughout the bedroom and disrupting the cleanliness and tranquility of your private space.
While a small bin in the bedroom may seem convenient, it is best to use a lidded bin and maintain regular cleaning. Avoid wet waste, empty the bin daily, and disinfect it frequently to minimize any adverse effects.
Don’t Place Trash Bins in Front of the Main Door
In Feng Shui, the main door, similar to the entrance, represents the Ming Tang (bright hall) of a home. Keeping this area clean and clear is essential for inviting good fortune. Placing a trash bin here can disrupt the positive energy flow, bringing difficulties and hindering financial prosperity.
