Everyone has waste in their homes, because we don’t use everything we buy! Whether it’s leftovers from food, spare boxes that were used as packaging or just something we don’t want anymore, everything and anything can get throw away! However, there are lots of things you can do with the stuff that you throw away, so here are 3 things you can do with your waste.
Compost Bins
If you grow vegetables or flowers at home, or are looking into it, this is a fantastic thing to do. Compost bins are possibly the most simple way to turn unwanted food into something good! They work by literally just leaving waste food in a bin with soil and let it decompose! It helps if you stir it around every few days to get an even air exposure to boost the decomposition. You can either build one yourself as pictured above, or you can buy one from companies like OrginialOrganics, just pick one that suits your size and needs! Compost, when fully “made” is very beneficial to plants because of the nutrients it contains from the broken down foods, even if you’re not going to use it you can sell it, or give it to someone who will use it!
Making Ornaments
Every house needs ornaments for inside the house and outside, and you can make them out of things that you would usually throw away! There is very little guidance here because you can do whatever you want! You could make a birdfeeder out of a used tin can, or you could make a key holder out of a ruined cheese grater, the possibilities are endless! You can get some more ideas here for making things out of your waste, but sometimes items are just too far gone for you to do anything with. Proper waste removal is a must for things that you cannot use, so if you’re on the lookout for quick waste removal, take a look at Dirt Cheap Rubbish Removal. These services will take away any rubbish that you don’t want instantly, regardless of size or nature (as long as it’s not illegal!).
Donate To Charity
This goes for anything that you might throw away, maybe it’s a piece of clothing you no longer wear or a book you no longer read, perhaps even a toy that you’ve kept or one that your little ones don’t use anymore! The majority of things are welcome at charities like Cats Protection, and all of the proceeds go towards a good cause, so if you’ve got a lot of stuff you would otherwise just bin, donate it to charity! You never know who it will help. You could also sell them online and donate the money to a charity that way if you so wish, there are many things you could do. You could also drop them off at clothing banks, a much easier and quicker way than going into a charity store but still achieving the same effect!
So there you have the best 3 things to do with your to-be waste! All of these things are useful in one way shape or form, not only to you but to other people as well! Making compost and giving it to other people is a wonderful gesture as it takes quite a while to make, and donating old clothes off to charity is a very benevolent thing to do too! If you’ve got some spare card that you’re going to throw in the bin, read this for some good seasonal things to make out of it instead of throwing it away!
