Yeah, me too. Most of my "garbage" is food trash, if anything. Which needs to go out, weekly, or it smells, regardless of how much or how little I have.I tend to generate more recyclables than garbage.
Subtle, but ... post of the year thus far?I always said there should be a system of reusable packaging. Kinda like in the old days with the milk bottles. But it should be for all products. There should be a bunch of different style containers/packaging and everything should come in that. Essentially, tupperware I guess. There would then be central locations where you drop it off, and they clean it and it gets shipped back to the respectful companies and they clean it again and reuse it. For food stuff there could be some form of safety seal to make sure it was not tampered with I guess. That would be the only part that's not reusable.
The biggest thing would be the get used to that idea as some products would be different in how they are used. Like no more individually wrapped products etc. They could also come up with an organic style wrapper for the things that absolutely need to be in some kind of wrapper.
Carbon taxes and all the BS governments try to pass as being good for the planet are just that, BS. They don't do anything to actually reduce the pollution, the just take more money out of people's pockets.
Wow. Your trash day is Monday? Mine is Friday. How weird is that?
First, I was stunned by how fewer bags of garbage in the regular trash can took pace after getting into recycling. The wife and I, who eat out a lot, have a single bag on most weeks and occasionally come up with a second bag in the trash can. The recycling bin, however, is usually more filled than not on a regular basis.We generally put out a 1/3 filled garbage can and 1/3 filled recycling can. Trash day is Monday and many of our neighbors already have their overflowing trash cans out
You have to cut them up before placing them in the can.kids create an enormous amount of wast for some reason. we have a mid size trash can and a large recycling can. recycling is full on a biweekly basis and trash is full every week. these cans do service the batchler in the other side of our duplex as well. so I guess its for 5 people total.
