Disposing of Your Waste With The Environment in Mind

We’ve all come across the issue of waste management. While it might seem like a minor nuisance, accumulating waste is detrimental to the environment. Whether you’re at home or in the office, there are a number of ways you can make a difference, and inspire a change.

• Recycle! It might sound crazy, but everything you recycle ends up getting used in some way. Whether it’s a new water bottle or a park bench, it makes a difference. The more you choose to mindfully dispose, the better off our environment will be.
• It’s not hard work. An independent waste management service can provide you with information based on everything you decide to throw away. Not only does this benefit our earth, but it’s much easier having a service that will haul away your trash and make good use of the salvageable materials
• Advocate change around you. Office breaks are cool, but how about letting your co-workers know about the benefits of a recycling bin as well? Do they know how many years it takes to break down that water bottle? Sometimes, simple knowledge is the best way to get the ball rolling and begin to create a movement.

Reducing Your Footprint At Home

Whether we’re out and about or at home, we can all make a difference in how we manage our waste. It’s not hard to make small changes, but some of us miss the things that can really make a difference in how we can be more mindful of our footprint. Oftentimes, we overlook even the smallest things that end up making a difference.

Recycling

Instead of throwing out plastic and glass, recycle it! In a perfect world, plastic is easily broken down, and doesn’t harm the environment. Unfortunately this is not the case, and it needs to be disposed of properly. In addition to the benefits of recycling these items, there’s a good chance they’ll be reused in another way that benefits our world!

Waste Management

Some of that garbage can be reused -- before throwing it all out, think about what it is. Paper cups and the daily news are great examples. Do you know how many trees it takes to print the sunday edition of the paper? It’s a staggering number. Additionally, all of that old food can be used for rich soil if you know how to compost properly. These are a few things to be aware of. Give us a call, we’d love to explain more in depth!
