Get Rid of Your Rubbish without Hassle

Getting rid of junk from your household may be stressful. However, having the right ideas on how to manage it, can be ideal for your home. Many people get rid of their rubbish by use of plastic bags or putting them in curbs, but at the end of it, you may feel like you are even worsening the already overflowing landfills with unnecessary garbage. Sometimes you may decide to tie all your rubbish in a trash bag and burn it, but that rubbish may contain the foodstuffs remains that are wet; thus the garbage may not burn properly. It is also not unusual to find in the garbage, broken plastic tools that are not biodegradable, making it a threat to the environment.

Some guidelines can help you get rid of rubbish without hassle, and it includes:

Separate your rubbish

Since there are different types of rubbish that you remove from your house daily, you need three or more rubbish contains to get rid of it. You may make one be for kitchen waste, i.e., food scraps, another for non-recyclable wastes, and the last for recyclables. But some people may prefer to break it down even further which depends on your decisions. After that, get crafty and turn your garbage into something new. For instance, you may convert your torn clothes or blankets to a sleeping bed for your cat or dog. Also, your old birth towel can turn to small rags for cleaning purposes; thus you will not have to buy disposable paper towels. More so, you can compost your kitchen residues to get organic manure for your kitchen garden.

Host virtual yard sale

There are various sites and people who need your old stuff. Rather than disposing of, you can take a snap of all your recyclables and post it on any social network website, and there is a greater chance you will get a new buyer. And at that point, you will also know who you are dealing with rather than a total stranger. People choose to use Craigslist, but various sites do the same, thus hosting a yard sale is also an easy way to get rid of your rubbish. For instance, Powell's purchases old books, Gazelle buys all used electronics while ThredUp buys used clothes.

Donate the recycles

You may donate your used clothing, electronics, shoes, furniture, appliances, and even building materials if you do not use them or you want to get new ones. Various institutions are accepting donated goods, so it may also be a simple way to get rid of your rubbish without hassle.

Find a second home for your old goods

Finding a second home for your used, unwanted items can be a great way to toss them responsibly. Well, if you have a place you can keep them, you're good to go. But how do you get a second home if you don't have one? It is more than just throwing your rubbish in the trash and forgetting about it, especially if they are non-recyclables. There are safer ways to dispose of your non-recyclable items like plastics, for instance. The good news is that there are companies to recycle them. In a place like Sydney, for instance, Same-Day Rubbish Removal eliminates all kinds of rubbish from homes in a fast and affordable way. They can find a new home for your goods or have them disposed of safely, which for you, means keeping your home and the environment clean while getting rid of rubbish without hassle.

There are many kinds of rubbish. There are some that you can dispose or recycle by yourself and others that need more than what you can do. Nonetheless, the pointers above can help you to maintain your outdoor and indoor environment clean without any hassle.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
