If you have a recycling bin that is overflowing, you may want to consider having it cleaned and / or the bags shredded for a little quality time and energy. This way, you can save yourself money on the need for additional recycling bins and the waste of paper and plastic.
If you need to empty your bin and discard some of the waste that is generated, consider breaking your trash down into smaller trashes and recycling it all for the greater good of the environment. This is one of the most common ways to remove clutter in a garbage bin.
If you are not comfortable with the thought of breaking the trash down to small pieces then the most obvious solution is to dispose of it yourself. Be aware though that many companies that do rubbish removal have a certain number of plastic bags and small bins for each load.
Be sure to ask the rubbish removal company where you will be putting the trash so that you know exactly how many plastic bags you will need for the task. A good rule of thumb is to recycle one bag for every two cubic yards of rubbish.
Another way to remove some of the plastic bags is to add a little water to the trash. If you have a mini-trash that is still wet, remove it from the bin and add a few cups of water. Cover the trash with a newspaper bag and then let it set overnight.
The next day, it is best to run a hot water extraction cycle on the bin and get rid of the excess water. You will then need to empty the bin once again by using a paper shredder.
Because we all seem to think it’s day and night, remember that your bin will get full each time it is emptied. If you aren’t getting to it and have a lot of trash left over, find someone who can help you out.
You will have to pay a nominal fee for the rubbish removal service, but you are better off if you can find someone who will come every other day and do the work for you. Being able to clean up the bin and clear out the waste as well as being able to get your bin emptied means that you will be able to reduce the number of big issues that you will have to deal with on a daily basis.
