Disposing of waste is definitely a trivial topic for many people. Each one has their own method, style and personal guideline in getting rid of your trash. Moreover, many councils and organisations give out guidelines and rules in handling waste. However, since waste can come in all sorts of shapes, composition and sizes, having a very definitive guideline makes is hard to truly sort out garbage.
The last thing on your mind should be worrying about your waste, nevertheless, to make things better, there are certain ways to avoid in order to practise better waste management and improve disposal methods altogether. Each method that makes waste management better is still valuable to many. Like having some Dos that help in trash disposal, there are Donts that should be observed. These are disposal practices you should avoid doing:
Don’t burn your rubbish
One of the most common practices done to get rid of trash is to burn them. Don’t do this. This is not advisable and this directly affects your entire area. Burning or incarcerating your trash may it be simple house waste like cartons or plastics, or green waste like your huge pile of decaying leaves, is dangerous. Fires can easily get out of hand and air can carry over smoke and ashes to your neighbour’s areas. Toxic gases can go own for days can cause harm.
Don’t leave big trash for pick-up
Your local councils might have offered free pickup schedules and proper garbage disposal initiatives for you to benefit from. However, not all of your garbage can qualify for scheduled pickups. Large trash for pickups might be left behind and cause trouble for being unattended. Big things that are for disposal also cause pester to your neighbours. Big trash for disposal can include tree stumps, logs, thick branches etc. and they are not suited for rubbish pickups.
Don’t leave rubbish unsegregated
The purpose of segregation bins is for household trash to be separated into proper categories. This makes garbage collection and recycling methods more efficient and optimal for people that will collect your trash. Moreover, unsegregated trash means that any sort of trash might have been dumped and only left for collection. This could mean your entire rubbish might not be collected if it’s not properly sorted. Don’t leave your trash unsorted, keep them segregated.
Don’t just dump all of your rubbish
Having the optimal spot in your lots dedicated to trash might be difficult to decide on. Nevertheless, make sure to leave your waste in an area that’s accessible enough but not too open to create a mess. Don’t just dump them in the curb walk until your scheduled pickup dates. This might cost you some fines from your local neighbourhood council. Worse, stray animals might end up rummaging through your bins. Don’t leave your garbage unkempt.
Don’t throw away recyclable rubbish
Recycling initiatives are strictly practised around Sydney. There are better ways to deal with garbage without resulting in landfills. Most waste can be recyclable if you spend a little bit of effort to sort them out. Throwing away recyclable trash adds to the already monstrous waste volume being produced daily by people. Recycling also helps in the movement of sustainability which benefits the environment. Don’t just throw away your junk. Practise recycling.
