Making Homes for Awkward Waste
By Professional Organiser Rebecca Mezzino
Waste management is a hot topic at the moment. Faced with environmental crises, we’re being encouraged to recycle as much of our waste as possible.
We’ve all got a rubbish bin, they’re pretty standard in Australia homes. Many of us also have a home for our recycling before it goes out in the council bins, too.
These days, though, there are so many different categories of waste that it can be hard to find ways to manage them all. Rather than just giving up and putting it in the landfill bin (which for many items can be actually illegal!), creating homes for all of them can mean you’re doing your bit for the planet without stressing you out too much.
Let’s look at a few different types of waste that need homes, and think about some ways you can store them so that they aren’t in your way.
By taking a little time to create homes for our recyclables, we can ensure that recycling is a quick and easy process for all of us.
