22 Tips for Minimizing Trash

Tips to limit trash

I like most of your items and actually do them except the hankie thing. I think they are old news and should not be used anymore infact if I knew my dads were going in the load of laundry when i was a kid I would not put my clothes in there and still have a thing against them even more since we have been finding the bug problem to be more then it was years ago. Toss that stuff,, yuk.

One I have been doing for a long time is I have a container in my bathrooms where we toss the empty toilet paper rolls into and now and then I put 5 or 6 into one and toss them into the cardboard recycle. Because I was doing this a while I decided to save them up a while and see what I was recycling, Wow lots of cardboard there getting reused and there are only three of us here, what would happen in a family of 5 or 6?

I also use the paper towels that rip in half and yes it does go a long way compared to the original sheet paper towels when you only need a small sheet.

My old work place used to take old forms and have them made into note pads that could be written on the back side. They tossed them in the lunch rooms and near phones around the building so people would have something to write on.
