As mini-storage professionals in Greenville, NC, we know how difficult it can be to sort through your things and find out what to keep or trash. No one likes taking out the trash. It can be stinky tiresome, and stressful. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Here are some easy tips to make trash day a breeze.
1. Keep It Off the Floor
If you can keep trash off the floor, you can keep stinky trash juice off your floor too. With a couple pieces of scrap wood and a drill, you can actually hang up recycling bins so that it’s easier to sort your recyclables. That keeps the bins off the ground and serves as a great reminder to recycle and sort accordingly. For more detailed instructions how to do this, check out The Handyman’s tutorial.
2. Dispense Your Trash Bags
Making getting your trashbag easier will make trash as a whole a lot easier. You can repurpose a paper towel roll to hang up your trash bags. That way you can get to them more easily, rather than digging around in a box. It will make putting in a new trash bag faster and that much easier.
3. Say Hello to Dollies
If your trashcan isn’t wheeled or you have large trash you need to get out, invest in making some flat dollies to roll things out. You can use thicker frames or left over wood. It will make transporting things to the trash easier on you and your back. Here’s a tutorial to get you started on Lifehacker.
A note: if you make the dolly like a frame and have an empty center, that makes it easy to hang it on your wall with some hooks. Doing it that way means you’ll never trip on it.
