If you are struggling for recycling capacity, there are loads of ways you can create some extra storage for collecting your recycling.
I’ve put together some recycling ‘Hacks’ that you can use every day to make managing your recycling that little bit easier!
- Hack #1 - Keep a basket under the stairs, or by the front door, to store your papers, magazines, or other paper items in before taking them to your outdoor recycling bin.
- Hack #2 - If you have children, get them to decorate a plastic or cardboard box to store your recycling – not only will it brighten up your bin area, but it will also encourage them to use it too!
- Hack #3 – Use bags for life to store bottles for recycling. Hang them on the inside of a kitchen cupboard door or in a utility cupboard out of sight.
- Hack #4 - Store an old bucket or box under the sink to put your cans, glass, and plastic in after you’ve rinsed them out.
- Hack #5 - Re-use cardboard wine carriers to store glass bottles neatly for recycling.
