Tip 18 Collect All Trash and Empty the Shredder

Оглавление

An older child can easily collect all the trash from every room in the house in less than 10 minutes. One simple solution is to start with the kitchen trash and go around to each room and dump the trash into the kitchen trash bag. Be sure every bedroom and bathroom has a trash can, as this allows no excuses for anyone to leave used tissues on the floor or under the bed.

When in the office, be sure to empty the shredder into the trash as well. Shredded paper strips or bits can not normally be recycled. Check with your local recycling service to determine if they accept shredded paper. Shredded paper usually contains staples and other foreign matter, especially if you shred credit cards and CDs. I feel great about emptying the shredder into the trash because it is already pre-composted material.

Speaking of compost, shredded paper is contaminated with a variety of inks so you many want to reconsider emptying the shredder into your compost bin.
