We are moving next month and getting rid of a lot of stuff, but we're not tossing it in the trash. We've given many things to charity or given them away to someone who can use it (even "junk" is often desired by someone who is able to upcycle or reuse it in some way).<br />Another big thing we do is to use cloth diapers and wipes.

They are single stream so you don't have to separate. We burn anything paper. That leaves me with jar lids that I don't know what to do with, even with canning I can reuse the lids, just the rings. There are some reusable lids but I've heard bad and good reviews on them. Haven't tried it yet. Food items we throw out back for the opossum and raccoons to eat. We do recycle but they won't take those new light bulbs or any paper that food has been in. I tried taking the recycle bags to the store but it just didn't work out well. I guess our baggers don't get many and it was a mess.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-63206139996846396772015-05-21T22:09:53.085-07:002015-05-21T22:09:53.085-07:00I do try and recycle, have a compost bin for raw ...I do try and recycle, have a compost bin for raw veg waste, paper, cotton scraps, etc, we also have garden refuse bins, recyling bins and a bin for things that cannot be recycled, this can make over 6 weeks to fill but it gets emptied once a fortnight. Our council do not have a glass recyling service so must own up to putting glass in the bin ghat goes into land fill, however our council are about to start incinerating land fill rubbish which is goodmargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.com
