Managing your garbage might seem like a year-round type thing, but in reality, it’s also seasonal! When it comes to specific types of waste, there are a few different procedures that should be followed instead of mindlessly tossing it away. This makes the process much easier for those who are collecting and ultimately sorting your garbage for proper distribution. Below are a few things to keep note of as the seasons make their switch and the temperatures start to drop.
Leaves
Be careful with leaves. Not only do these need to be disposed of correctly, but they may also pose a greater benefit, should you leave them somewhere near home. It’s a good idea to let your leaves dry out and create fire starting bricks from them, if you actively use a fire pit. This can save money and prove to be healthier for the environment. Alternatively, you can also create a compost pile for your leaves and turn it into rich soil for future seasons!
Plastic
Reusing plastic is one of the easiest ways to reduce overall footprint. With the average American consuming more and more water per day, it’s critical to understand that the amount of plastic that doesn’t get used is also increasing. Instead of using these bottles, try investing in a reusable one, and a filter for your tap. This can reduce your plastic usage at home by a huge number!
Of course, mindful management is also a huge part of this process as well, and it’s important to understand how you can make a difference. An independant service is one of the best ways to reduce your footprint and make a positive impact on society.
