Reusing Boxes & Cardboard

Cardboard is arguably one of the most common things you’ll find in a garage, basement,

or in storage at a home. Packages come in this material, they’re used for moving, and even

basic insulation and fragile material protection! But cardboard has more use than you might

think -- especially beyond the normal things it’s tasked with helping out with. Check out some

of the cooler ideas you can use cardboard for at home!

Insulation

Whether you’ve got pets, or you’re just a little cold, cardboard can provide a cheap insulation

for you during the colder months of the year. An outdoor pet home can be double-lined with

cardboard between, underneath and inside -- and alternatively, the same thing can be done

inside of a makeshift shed or treehouse! These small additions of wind reducing and

nsulating material is a cheap option usually not thought of by many. Just keep it dry!

Work Station

If you’re the type of person who works on the floor a lot, cardboard might be you and your

driveway’s best friend. Imagine doing an oil change with the ability to protect your concrete

and your back at the same time -- with almost no added cost! Slide a large piece of cardboard

under the car and use it to rest on and catch oil drippings. 

Crafts!

With the kids (or even by yourself) using cardboard to create little crafts that can be decorated

is an easy and free way to pass time and get in touch with your creative side! Additionally,

cardboard can be used to help separate items in drawers and cabinets that need a bit of

sprucing up! Just paint and enjoy!

New Year Resolutions For Your Home

The new year, and the new decade is on the horizon -- and while it’s important to think about

what you can be doing for your own life, maybe an easier resolution to also add to the list

can include things for your home! A few things we feel are great resolutions for you can be

found below!

A Schedule

Cleaning stinks -- and nobody wants to spend the entire day doing it on the weekend. So

instead of making it something you slave over for hours at a time, dedicate at least 15

minutes per day in tidying up one room in the house. When you’re done, move to the next,

and keep that system going each day. Not only will the house get clean, but you’ll feel

better stepping back and seeing how much you accomplished!

Waste Management

A second garbage can will only run you a few dollars, and an extra bag every few days.

With this, you can safely separate things like food and actual waste from one another,

and start something a bit more useful with those things -- like a compost pile, or something

else eco-friendly. The options for you are endless and it’s never a bad idea to consciously

throw things out in different ways. 

Project Work

Before hiring someone to do the job for you, think about some of the smaller projects you

wanted to accomplish, and consider how you can get them done right the first time. This

way, you can learn and understand what needs to be done, and learn a new skill at the same

time. We think that’s a win-win!

Is City Carting Right For Me?

Whether you’re a new resident of the area or a business looking for a solution, garbage

is something you’ll always think about, as ultimately, it has to go somewhere. But when it

comes down to companies and service providers who are offering what seems like the same

thing, making your decision is difficult. Below are a few things that might set City Carting

different from the rest and provide solid reasoning as to whether or not they’re for you or not.

Holiday Cleanup Ideas

At home, whether hosting or not, cleaning up after yourself is an idea that can help you

feel more productive, make your home appear larger, and create a cozier living space!

However in many situations, holiday cleanup only occurs once after everything is put away

or set up -- and that can lead to bad habits! Instead, check out a few ways you can

incorporate cleaning into a routine schedule.

Dusting

Although dust doesn’t appear overnight, after moving a lot of things around at home,

dust can accumulate in spaces you didn’t originally see it, and can cause allergy flareups

and a lot of sneezing. In an effort to combat this, make sure you dust before moving items

around, and afterward as well, just to be safe. This helps everyone and keeps your home

nice and sparkling!

Sweeping

Similar to dusting, the holidays can bring a number of other things into your home that

you’re not used to seeing. Extra food, feet tracking in dirt, and other activities can begin to

create dirt and buildup on floors, carpeting, rugs and more. Make sure a weekly routine

includes breaking out the broom and vacuum!

Separation

Let’s face it- -- the holidays are full of food, gifts, and other items that otherwise take up

space in your garbage can, and around your home. Make sure to properly separate things

in your garbage for easy cleanup and removal (and collection), and you’ll thank yourself

when it’s done. Food, paper, recyclables and other items should find their way into different

bags and receptacles in order to create a seamless disposal process.
