3 Things You're Missing At Home

As a homeowner, whether new or old, you’re likely constantly learning how to best
manage your waste, organization, and your home as a whole! What comes with those
experiences is usually a purchase of some sort, which improves that process; and these
purchases can be a few dollars or something a bit larger to accommodate your needs.
Below are a few items that can improve the quality of life at home, and help you improve
your overall process!

Separate Garbages 


It’s important that in 2019, you know that many things don’t go in the same garbage can --
and the best way to solve that is to have multiples! If you’re the super conscious type, keep
three separate cans -- one for food, one for recycling, and one for food waste. This way you
can properly separate all of them and make sure that everything is always where it needs
to be when it’s collected.


Bungee Cords


In addition to being great at latching down a new mattress or piece of furniture, a bungee
cord can be a great option for you when it comes to holding down your garbage cans so
that critters don’t get in where they shouldn’t. These bundles of cords can be had for a

very low price and pose a lot of benefits in many aspects of daily life.

Compost Heap


As mentioned above, keeping food separated can be a great solution for those looking for
another option and another way to keep their home a bit more green. This compost heap

will allow you to repurpose old food into new soil for your plants, which is a huge plus! 

Of course, conscious waste management is also very necessary -- and making sure this
practice is done on a constant basis requires someone who can effectively haul your garbage
away when you need it gone! 

Providing homes and businesses with effective waste management is a service that City
Carting & Recycling has been doing for over 35 years. If you’re looking for dumpster rental

City Carting Commercial Solutions

As a business owner in the CT area, it’s important to make sure that you’re ready for all
seasons, and your business stays ready and profitable -- and clean! While it might seem
like enough to make sure your storefront or office is clean enough, the garbage and the
waste you produce on a daily basis also needs a place to go, so it’s important to do everything
in your power to maintain curb appeal for customers, and cleanliness for the both of you! Below
are a few commercial options that you and your business have with City Carting.


Roll Off Services


It’s important that at the end of the day, there’s a place for all of your garbage, no matter
how much. For businesses that produce more than just a garbage bag full each day or so,
a roll-off container is the next best option that provides a massive benefit to everyone. This
rolling container can be either front or rear load, and contain a ton of waste to be picked up
locally by a truck on a rolling (get it?) basis!


Large Drop-Off


For larger remodeling or garbage ridden projects, a drop off container is something to
consider -- especially given the size! This can help for those looking to complete something
huge or just need a temporary solution for a larger task. Our trucks can drop one off in your
area and you can keep it until it’s no longer needed! This option is great as it requires nothing
but a phone call on your end -- which is a benefit within itself! 

Of course, there are many options for businesses looking for a commercial situation -- and in
many cases, City Carting can handle large-scale projects no matter the size!

Summer Items That Don't Go In The Trash

As summer rounds the corner into one of its final legs, it’s important to, as a home or
business owner, refresh on what is and isn’t supposed to be in the trash! Even though
it’s likely already a routine for you and those who live/work in your building, there’s nothing
wrong with taking another look at your habits, and looking for a way to improve. 



Old Food/Leftovers

We know how easy it is to take your plate and scrape it into the trash, even if there’s a bit
of food leftover -- and while that sometimes is OK, it’s also important to know what is and
isn’t going to smell bad, and attract unwanted attention from nocturnal critters looking for a
meal. Instead of throwing this away immediately, place your extra food in a separate bag and
throw it in the freezer until it’s time to take out the trash. This prevents odor, and in turn,
animals! Additionally, you can also begin composting certain foods for nutrient-rich soil.

Excess Plastic

Opening a brand new supersoaker for the kids is a great way to keep them entertained and
cool on a hot day -- but the packaging they come in, among many other things, is less than
ideal for regular trash. No matter what, it’s important to always check in on your local ordinances
for what to do with plastic garbage, and if you can safely throw it out a different way. Additionally,
some of these packages are made of rigid plastic, which prompts you to need to be careful,
and think of who is handling your trash afterwards!

Electronics

Sometimes a good garage cleaning is in order when the weather is nice and you can entertain
a quick sale of old items. Instead of just tossing everything away, including old batteries and
outdated electronics, make sure you’re putting some of your things in a recycling bin to bring
somewhere for safe disposal! The acid and components inside these items should always be
thrown out safely -- no matter the season!
