Day 71: Hazardous Waste

As I'm going through cupboards, closets, etc., I am finding partially used bottles of cleaning fluids, paint, etc. I'll gather it together and take it to our recycling day or just to the regular center at the landfill. Sometimes I've found multiple bottles of some cleaning agent that we bought because we didn't know we had some already. Clear out unnecessary stuff. Paint that has been sitting mostly empty for more than a year is probably dried out or at least unusable. Keep only what you can still use or may need in the next year.

  1. *Heidi - some people also put cleaning supplies in each room...so the extras could be spread out that way. Speaking of cleaning supplies - I'm almost out of Windex...gotta add that to the shopping list! :)

    So, literally one day after I wrote about really trying to be sure and get rid of one thing per day and not relying on all the days I get rid of "extra" stuff, I once again miss a day! The day got away from me, but I'm just annoyed that I didn't take the minute or two to do it - again! I guess I have 294 days to get this habit going!

    Today, I put 4 books in the give-away box.
