3 Things Every Home Needs For The Trash

At home, there are a number of things that you’re usually supposed to check up on — and your garbage is one of them! In terms of efficiency and cleanliness, a few factors come into play that make all the difference when it comes to your habits and how you handle the load inside. Below are just a few of the things or methods that should be adopted when it comes to your waste and how you can stay on top of everything dirty.

Easily Separate

One of the easiest methods to increasing your waste productivity is to separate everything from the get-go when it gets tossed in the trash. While this might seem like a lot of sifting, it’s actually much easier than you might think. Your paper should be disposed of in one box (if dry), and the normal garbage in the other. In the third can be your recyclables which take on a totally different form of life once they’re brought to a facility to be broken down and reused.

Reduce Odor

We can’t promise that all of your trash won’t ever smell, but there is something to be said about those who are actively trying to reduce the odors themselves. By adding odor eaters and keeping the inside of each can clean (typically once bi-weekly or monthly), you’re killing any bacteria, mopping up any spills, and preventing from permanent smells from entering the home.

Can Tops

This is a major key that many people forget once the garbage heads to the outside of your home. A top or can lid is extremely important to not only have, but to use as well when you’re at home. This prevents messes caused by critters and unwanted animals who generally look near the garbage for a snack at night. This will keep odor and garbage inside, as these ‘visitors’ tend to forget to clean up after themselves.
