With cold weather here, it’s important that in addition to your own safety, you’re also thinking
about your property, and the waste you accumulate during the week. Fall and winter can
have lasting impacts on the health of your home, so it’s important to make sure that everything
you do is calculated. But many people aren’t aware of what happens to their garbage when it
gets colder out, and the effects it can have on home health. We’ve gathered a few facts to
know below!
It Can Freeze
Even though it’s cold out, it’s still important to make sure that everything is properly sealed
up and effectively thrown away. This includes both food and liquids, since they have the
opportunity to seep out and cause a big, foul odored smell in your garbage can. This might
not be a huge issue right now, but once the temperature warms up enough to bring out the
smell, bugs and bacteria will be growing rapidly!
It Attracts Animals
Most of us know that animals in the winter store food so they can make it through harsher
conditions -- and they’re looking for any food source available to them. Leaving your garbage
cans open or loosely tied up can result in critters getting into the trash and causing a big mess.
To alleviate this concern, make sure you’re securely fastening all trash lids and tying the bags
inside tight!
Of course, inclement weather can have an effect on pickup scheduling, so it’s important to
make sure that you’re staying up to date on your collection company’s site and anticipating
any delay in collection!
