The bin is full — I need to empty it.
ZVWOH-ta-lo — svuotare (to empty) starts with a light 'sv' cluster; do not insert a vowel between 's' and 'v'.
Use this for everyday household conversation. It is simple, direct, and extremely common in Italian homes.
Svuotare means to empty. Bidone is the bin. The sentence structure is a comment followed by a consequence (è pieno → devo svuotarlo), which is a very natural Italian conversational pattern for explaining domestic actions.
Il secchio della spazzatura è strapieno.
The rubbish bin is overflowing.
Strapieno means extremely full / overflowing; secchio is another word for bin/bucket.
Vuoi svuotare tu il bidone?
Do you want to empty the bin?
Asking someone else to do it; a classic domestic negotiation.
Cambio il sacchetto del bidone.
I'm changing the bin bag.
The follow-up action after emptying; sacchetto means small bag/liner.
Italian kitchen bins (pattumiere) are often designed with multiple compartments to allow pre-sorting at the point of generation. The pattumiera differenziata is a popular household purchase — families separate waste directly under the sink, avoiding the need to carry unsorted rubbish and then sort it outside.
