The holidays can get pretty hectic. With family and friends coming over, the house can fill up quick, as well as the garbage can. Between food and gifts, there’s a lot that goes in and comes out of the house, which can cause a mess. What many fail to realize however is the difference they can make by switching up tactics when the garbage can is expected to fill up. Below are a few things to make sure of during the holidays in order to secure your home and keep it looking the way it should.
Extra Food
There’s always a bit of leftovers during the holidays. With so much food going around, it’s sometimes hard to finish it all, which can pose a problem. Instead of allowing this to happen, invest in tupperware that you don’t mind losing. This way, you can hand out portions to people who are leaving, ensuring that it’ll get eaten for lunch the next day, instead of ending up in the trash. Alternatively, donating uneaten food to a shelter or pantry can be a much better answer than letting it sit in the fridge until it’s bad, or worse, throwing it out.
Wrapping Paper
Contrary to belief, most wrapping paper isn’t actually the type of paper that can be recycled. Instead of tossing it where ti doesn’t belong, make sure it ends up in the trash with the rest of the garbage. Should you think of another use for the paper, you can also include it in packages sent to friends and family, to keep fragile items safe. They can also be used for makeshift insulation, and other uses. Recycling them however creates unnecessary work for your waste management company -- avoid this at all costs.
