I, too, have a small trash bin; break down boxes for my recycle bin and yard upkeeps goes in-the green recycle bin.

Instead, we have to put cactus, lemon tree cuttings, bougainvillea cuttings, and anything sharp into cardboard boxes. The boxes have to be taped up. So, a lot of cardboard is going in the trash. I hate that. So, many of the Amazon boxes end up with yard waste in them.

We seem to have one of the smallest additions to the weekly trash, and I also live with a seemingly obsessed recycler. He is always finding things I forgot to recycle. But he's a gentleman about it. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-64165395521683787422020-11-12T18:16:42.305-08:002020-11-12T18:16:42.305-08:00Sharing can get difficult at times.

We have the large trash can, but it is rarely full. The extra cost is worth it to me because I never want to have a full bin. Definitely a first world challenge! Guess I don’t have enough to worry about because I focus on trash management. #1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.com
