Introduction
There are a lot of things that you should dispose of properly, both for your own health and protection and for the environment. If you’re not sure what’s acceptable to put in your trash can or recycling bin, check this list out:
The bin hire Adelaide is movable which means it’s very mobile to fix your garbage.
Dispose of light bulbs correctly
It’s important to dispose of light bulbs correctly. Here are some things you should not do:
- Don’t throw them in the trash.
- Don’t dispose of them in the sink.
- Don’t dispose of them in the toilet.
- Don’t dispose of them in the trashcan.

Donate or recycle clothing
When it comes to getting rid of unwanted clothing, you have a few options. First, you can donate your clothing to charity. This can be done by taking the clothes directly to a charity or dropping them off at a donation area where they will be picked up and taken there.
If this isn’t an option for you and/or your family, then another option is to donate old clothes that are still wearable but are past their prime with someone else—a friend or family member who could use them more than you would need them!
Another way is through thrift stores like Goodwill where people who don’t have much money can purchase gently used clothing at affordable prices. If there aren’t any thrift stores in your area (or if those stores don’t accept the type of items), then try looking at local shelters or even schools—they may take donations too! There may also be homeless shelters close by where they could use some help providing warm clothes during winter months as well as year-round relief from heat waves during summer months when temperatures soar over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37 Celsius).
Quit smoking and dispose of your products correctly
- If you’re a smoker, don’t throw your cigarette butts on the ground or in bins because they can cause fires.
- Put them in a sealed container and take them to a designated collection point (such as an appropriate recycling centre or local council waste site).
- Never put cigarettes in your refuse bin. They are hazardous waste and should be disposed of correctly by taking them to one of these sites instead.
If you need to dispose of any batteries, check with your local waste management service.
If you need to dispose of any batteries, check with your local waste management service. Batteries are considered hazardous waste and should not be thrown in the regular trash.
Batteries contain toxic chemicals and should not be placed in the regular trash. They are also recyclable, so you can take them to a recycling center or even recycle them at home!
Recycle e-waste,such as mobile phones and laptops, by taking them to a specialist recycling centre.

E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world and chances are you have some that needs to be recycled. E-waste contains valuable materials that can be recycled and reused instead of ending up in landfills or incinerators where they release toxins into the air we breathe and waterways. Some types of e-waste may contain lead, mercury or other harmful chemicals which need to be disposed of carefully so they don’t contaminate soil or water supplies when released into these things through dumping processes.
Some supermarkets will accept old and unwanted medicines for you to dispose of safely. Otherwise, you can take unused or out-of-date pharmaceuticals to your local GP surgery or pharmacy and ask if they have a disposal box.
Don’t flush medicines down the toilet. They can pollute rivers and streams, which may be your source of drinking water.
Don’t put them in the bin. The packaging can be recycled, but some medicines contain chemicals that are harmful to the environment if they get into landfill sites or seas.
Don’t throw them in the rubbish. They will end up at a local waste disposal site, which is not designed to deal with chemical waste such as medicines and pesticides – these sites are designed for household waste only so putting them there is likely to cause pollution problems locally too!
Old food must not be flushed down the sink to help prevent sewer blockages. The same goes for many other items such as cooking oil, disposable nappies and broken crockery which can all cause havoc in sewers.
- Don’t flush food down the sink. You might think that it biodegrades, but this is not always the case.
- Even when a product is labelled as ‘flushable’ it doesn’t mean that it will be fine to put in your drain. Some items like wet wipes can cause serious blockages and damage to drains or sewers and should never be flushed away.
Everyone has those things we’ve accumulated but plan on getting rid of at some point in time. Unfortunately, quite often those things get shoved into a closet or attic until they’re forgotten completely.
Everyone has those things we’ve accumulated but plan on getting rid of at some point in time. Unfortunately, quite often those things get shoved into a closet or attic until they’re forgotten completely. Unless you take the time to plan ahead and make sure you know where your stuff is going, you’ll end up with a lot of junk that’s hard to dispose of properly.
Here are some tips for getting rid of things without creating a mess:
- Plan ahead! You can’t just randomly throw things away. You need to think about where you are going to put them first. Are there any local charities or thrift stores that would accept what you want to get rid of? If not, do some research online about how exactly these businesses work so that when it comes time for them to pick up the items from your house, they have an idea which ones should go where based on their knowledge about recycling laws within their area (and yours).
- Make sure all containers used in transporting waste materials are labeled clearly so there aren’t any mistakes made during pickup day. You don’t want someone accidentally dumping something right next door instead because they thought it was trash day already instead!
