Have too much rubbish? Tired of the broken patio bricks in the back garden, the old boxes in the attic and the dreary wallpaper in the basement? If so, you need a rubbish removal plan. Hi! My name is Roger, and this blog is going to be designed for homeowners, apartment dwellers, business owners and everyone in between. I am going to pen a range of posts related to rubbish removal and other topics tied to home improvement and design. While I plan to do most of the writing myself, I may invite guests, friends or experts to post as well. For now, grab a refreshing beverage, get comfortable and explore my posts.

Every year Australian households send tons of refuse to landfills and incinerators. Unfortunately, discarded waste is costly in terms of the natural resources, energy, labour and capital that went into producing those items.
Much of the waste problems emanate from a convenience culture in the 21st century. Learning to reduce waste at home goes a long way to reducing the garbage your household generates.
Here are three ways you can reduce waste at home.
1. Compost It
Composting is a natural way of converting organic materials into nutrient-rich soil through decomposition. Composting is a decisive action that you can take to address climate change, reduce trash and build healthy soil.
Composting reduces the amount of waste that ends up in your garbage can. By recycling food scraps and yard trim you generate at home, composting allows you to manage waste more sustainably.
Composting requires minimal effort, equipment and expertise and dramatically reduces the materials that would otherwise end up in landfills and incinerators. To get started composting:
The next step is adding your food scraps to small sections while waiting to harvest.
2. Use Reusable Bags
Reducing your plastic bags is one of the best ways to reduce the waste you generate at home. Single-use plastics end up littering the streets, parks and waterways. Switch to reusable bags, and remember to take them with you whenever you are out shopping.
Here are a few tips to help you remember your reusable bags:
The best reusable bags are durable and functional and made of sustainable materials like canvas or recycled plastic.
3. Buy Second-Hand Clothes
Second-hand clothes are great for your wallet and have a significant social and environmental impact.
The fashion industry is responsible for a considerable energy draw and exploitation of natural resources. Consequently, the sector produces enormous pollution, hazardous chemicals and greenhouse gas emissions.
From a simple point of view, buying second-hand clothing reduces the ecological footprint of fashion.
Ultimately sustainable living is more than buying the right items but also how you dispose of them. Non-biodegradable waste harms the environment, threatens human health and destroys wildlife habitats. Fortunately, the power to change all this is in our hands. With some planning, thought and creativity, you can reduce your share of the impact by cutting down on trash.
