Playing in your trash is healthy

Healthy for the planet anyhow. While playing in the trash isn’t as fun as say Cranium, you should go through your trash and see what’s in there. Take a few hours on a weekend and do a trash check as follows…

You should not see the following in your trash:

• Leftover food items, like old bread, eggshells, and so on
• Cans
• Aluminum products
• Glass (broken or whole)
• Paper anything
• Steel
• Tin
• Plastics that can be recycled (not all plastics are easily recyclable)
• Batteries
• Cardboard tubes and other cardboard
• Non-messy foil
• Household items like books, not so broken toys, cell phones, clothing, and so on.
• Hazardous household waste

All of the above can be recycled, composted, ground up in the garbage disposal, or given to thrift stores. Really with the options for recycling nowadays your trash can be reduced to almost nothing. Especially if you smartly consider purchases before you buy for the recycling qualities.

Benefits to you:

• A smaller trash can that takes up less space – way more attractive!
• A less expensive trash bill.
• A healthier world for you, your friends, your family….
