We’ve all been told waste not want not, but let’s face it, there is some waste you don’t want. Rubbish can not only be a bit cumbersome, but it can attract pests as well as pose hazards to you and your family’s health. If you take a few simple steps, you can not only use your rubbish to your advantage, but you can also make your home a happier, healthier, environmentally friendly place.
Compost – Few bits of rubbish seem more useless than organic material. Raccoons and foxes love leftovers, organic waste is smelly, and there is a lot of it. If you want a way to safely dispose of these common bits of rubbish and get a return on your investment, try composting. As the urban gardening movement has begun in earnest, small compost heaps are becoming more and more popular. With minimal online research, you can find recipes for simple, safe, and fun ways to turn your organic waste into a reusable resource. Not only does composting fit in with the way of nature, you also have a steady supply of rich, all natural mulch to spread in the garden. Not a bad turn around for something once bound for the dump.
Recycle – You’d be surprised to see how much of your rubbish is recyclable. With bottles, cans, and cartons just a few on the long list, you’ll save a lot of mess in the house and dump alike. A few plastic bins set outside the house and a working knowledge of recyclables, you’ll reduce your waste by a significant amount. Even stored outside, these items won’t attract unwanted pests. Lighten the load on your bin and do something good for the planet. Hero might be a strong word, but an avid recycler comes very close.
