T is for Trashcans




Trashcans! Wastebaskets! Whichever name you use, we can all agree that they are important assets to any home (indoor and outdoor). Everyday we throw away all kinds of trash and the trashcans get full and we tie it up and take them outside for pickup. Today's quick tip is about the trash bags. Not about what kind to use (there are many different kinds on the market) but a time saving tip.
Trashcans are usually stored throughout the house where you need them, kitchens, bathrooms, home offices, bedrooms, etc, but the trash bags are probably stored in ONE place. Maybe they are way down in the basement, or out in the garage on a shelf. So maybe you go back and forth to empty the cans and then go get the trash bags or you carry the new trash bags draped on your shoulder and replace as your doing. My suggestion is to keep a couple of extra trash bags at the bottom of the trashcan UNDERNEATH the open one. Then what happens is that you always have one handy and ready at each one and it saves time and energy.

Trashy!




Trashcans/Wastebaskets should be near the sink. We throw away a lot of waste in the bathroom such as razors, q-tips, tissues and we should make it easy to reach. There are many kinds of trash bins to choose from. Some say plastic is the best in bathroom and trash bags are recommended to help protect the cans from such bathroom related items as nail polish remover stained cotton balls.
