Efficient Garbage Reduction

If the person bagging your groceries didn't make wise use of the space in the bags, you would have to carry extra bags to your car and, consequently, into your home. You would unnecessarily waste extra space, time and energy in the process. Now customize that thought to embrace the industry of waste and recycling. By decreasing the amount of empty space in our trash collecting vessels, we can save on fossil fuel consumption and transportation cost.

Simply breaking and flattening boxes can increase the amount of space available in our bins. This does not just apply to cardboard boxes, but also includes any paperboard (cereal or pet food) ones as well. Aluminum cans can easily be crushed if the top and bottom lid are removed first. We can easily reduce the size of foil products by hand.

Pushing down garbage in the bag will allow you to make room for more garbage. Less bags will need to be taken to the curb. Consolidated trash will result in a saving in fossil fuel consumption and idling of garbage at the curbside. Idling creates more pollution than moving vehicles. Garbage collection fees can be kept lower by reducing the cost per bag, and many companies offer incentives to those who produce less waste. Families will also be able to save on their cost for garbage bags.

Already overwhelmed sewage plants are experiencing added pressure from the usage of some kitchen waste disposal units. Vermiculture methods can be a better option. Household trash can be reduced by 30% by composting organic waste. organic materials can also be isolated by using pre-used plastic bags. Odor control inside the garbage can reduces the amount of times we must take our trash out.

Envision that now your waste has been cut down in half. Generally speaking, cost of garbage removal would be cut by 50 % and so would be trips to the dumping site and pollution.

Change starts at home, and it is never too late to start.
