When taking out the trash, it’s not likely you’re asking yourself how waste management can have an effect on your health — which, while it might seem like a redundant thought, is very important! The truth is, your health is linked to a number of different things, and the things you’re leaving to linger around in your home play a big role. We’ve decided to bring to light the effects that waste has on you and your families health, and what you can do to change it.
Raw Meat
That day old chicken in the garbage that hasn’t been taken out yet? That’s probably not the best for the air you’re breathing. Raw meat and meat that’s been sitting out can form bacteria all over, as well as a pungent odor. Breathing this is not only less than favorable, but it can stink up the house and lead to other illnesses as well. We suggest freezing old food and chicken until the night before your garbage goes out, and then placing it into your garbage pail. This way, it won’t stink and nothing can form.
Cans
Soda cans are ok here, but we’re talking about cans that can have adverse effects on your overall health. Aerosol and other chemicals are probably not the best things to have sitting around in your home all day, so it’s important to make sure that there is a clean flow of air in your home. If these things are just sitting around, move them outside until it’s time to take them away, so that the chemicals don’t intrude in your home and take over airways.
Fruit
While fruit is great for your body, leaving peels and excess fruit in the room for a length of time is less than a good choice. This is because flies are attracted to a number of different fruits and can form, mate, and infest your home. While they’re not so much bad for your health, this can be extremely annoying and take up to a few weeks to totally fix.
