Is Waste Management Right For Me?

Many people will ask themselves, whether they’re a new homeowner or a business owner,

if structured waste management is right for them. And while it might not seem like waste

management in this capacity is overly necessary or required, there are a few things that

provide benefit to those who use it, rather than solve the problem themselves

Routine Scheduling

Whether you’re part of a business or are just looking for a residential solution, scheduling

your trash pickup is easier and easier. Let’s face it, you’re busy, and garbage bags are and

should be the last of your concern. Why spend time thinking about where you’re going to take

it and when you have the time. Ultimately, you should prepare yourself with someone who

can come on a schedule and take things away without any work on your end. Easy!

Amount of Waste Is Key

Once your amount of waste surpasses a threshold where it’s not manageable by just you

anymore, the questions begs as to why you wouldn’t just take the task off of your plate. And

when there’s someone who can handle how much you need via smaller front/rear load

containers AND 40yd units, there’s no reason to put it on yourself. We’ve got the capacity

to handle everything you need all at once.

Do You Need It?

In many cases, mandated waste management is something required by certain municipalities,

and as such, you may actually be required to use a service like this in order to dispose

of your waste. In this case, make sure you team up with the right people who can handle

the job for you correctly the first time!

Preventing Odors and Buildup at Home

Foul odors at home can turn the stomach of almost anyone within a radius to smell it --

and it can really make your home feel anything but cozy! However with that in mind, there

are things you can do to combat the issue of a foul odor or less than appealing buildup

within the house. Here are a few things you can try to get rid of the odors.

Check Your Garbages

More often than not, your garbage contributes to most of the foul odors found in a home.

If you’ve been unsuccessfully emptying the bin and cleaning out the inside, you might be

experiencing a foul odor from items and liquids left behind, which can be equally as gross!

Make sure to thoroughly give these a good washing every once in a while to prevent it from

happening.

Drains & Moisture

If your drains are backed up in any way, that probably means something inside is causing

it to be slow -- which means whatever is in the pipe, has also likely gone bad. Instead of letting

that become an issue or trying to mask it, have some professional plumbing work conducted

and see if that helps. Additionally, excess moisture in your home might be the reason your

home smells musty, as standing water can breed mold growth. 

Sweet Scents

Some older homes just tend to have their own smells, and if you’re new to the building,

there’s usually only a few ways to fix that. Baking bread, lighting candles, cleaning walls and

carpets are all smaller ideas that can help you get rid of foul odors and promote better ones

from being in the house. 

If you’re in need of someone to help get rid of foul smelling garbage, equip yourself with a

team that can do so! City Carting is prepped and ready to help you the moment you need

us!

Adjusting Your Cleaning Regimen This Year

With 2020 in everyone’s sights, it’s important to know that you have the next few months

to a year set up, in place, and ready to tackle. What you as a home or business owner should

consider, is the notion that your home may need a bit of cleaning up every now and again.

If you’ve noticed that sometimes, your home could look a little better, perhaps adding a few

things to your routine could help! Here are a few ideas that might assist you in the coming

months.

Organize Your Equipment

It’s important that in addition to cleaning a space and making it look good, that your arsenal

of cleaning materials are available to you when you need them/ Tidy up the closet or pantry

where things are located and take advantage of knowing where things are, which will

drastically reduce the time needed to prep and much less time spent asking ‘where is the

darn _____?’

Work Top Down

When it comes to cleaning, no matter what it is, work from the higher parts of the room first,

and move down as you see fit. This helps you in the long run because after you’ve dusted

& cleaned at the top, you won’t have to worry about anything up there again. If you’re

constantly jumping between processes, you might miss a spot, rendering an ineffective

cleaning process. 

Manage That Waste

Don’t just look at your garbage as one big pile of everything -- help yourself by managing it

a bit differently! Food, sensitive items, and other materials should be separated for ease --

and you might even figure out a way to reuse them! When you have a proper waste plan in

place, everything becomes easier.

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!

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.
