After we started cleaning out our basement, I was blown away with the amount of trash that we came across. There were loads and loads of extra items that we didn't need anymore, and it was really frustrating. I started focusing on making more space in our trashcan, and I was really impressed with how much extra room a few smart moves made. We started nesting garbage items inside of paint buckets, and breaking down boxes carefully. This blog is dedicated to helping homeowners to make better use of the space they have inside of their trashcans. You never know, you might be able to enjoy more free space inside of your home.
If you have come to the conclusion that you really do send too much garbage to the landfill every week, you can stop and start becoming a part of the solution. The more people recycle, the less of a negative impact we are making on the environment. Not sure how to go about doing this in an effective manner? Simply follow the tips found below.
Contact Your Garbage Company
There are now a lot of garbage companies that are offering to assist with recycling efforts. They may be able to supply you with the individual bins you need to separate the various items that you want to have recycled. For example, some of the things that you can have recycled include aluminum cans, paper, cardboard boxes, and glass. Your garbage company will be able to let you know if they do the collection for all of those things or if they only offer the aluminum cans recycling pick up.
Start Spreading The Word Among Your Friends And Family
If you are one of the only people you know that are actively recycling, you might want to see if there is anything you can do about that. One way to get started is to spread the word about your efforts to cut down on pollutants by recycling everything you can. Offer to pick up any scrap metal that they might have sitting around. Offer to leave bins with them if they would be willing to separate their cans and glass before simply throwing them out on the curb.
Talk With Your Town Authorities
They might have thought about implementing a rule about recycling but just need to be shown that there is a true interest to do this within the community. You can offer tips and suggestions and then have them supply the residents, including yourself, with the various recycling bins that are needed for sorting. They can then hire a company that will go around once a week and collect the contents of the bins that are placed on the curb for that week.
The sooner you start putting those tips to good use, the better you will feel. Once you get the hang of it, you might even want to see if you can convince some of your friends and family to do the same. Before you know it, you may have started a great hobby among many of the people that you know.
