Instead of paying a monthly or quarterly waste removal fee we're using the local 'civic amenity site' (as it's called here in Ireland) and pay by usage/per bag. It has definitely reduced our waste and makes us more aware of wastage in general. .-= Barbara´s last blog ..<a href="http://fairymix.blogspot.com/2009/09/intermission.html" rel="nofollow">Intermission...</a> =-.

This is a great way to avoid having to buy new stuff. Garbage service in my neighborhood costs $17.50 per month. I decided it would be cheaper to handle waste removal myself. Doing so gives me extra motivation to reduce, recycle and reuse! For example, wine bottles at my house are used as vases for the roses and other flowers we give away to co-workers. Plastic milk jugs hold rain water for future use. And anything that could possibly be reused (just not by me) becomes a tax deduction when I donate it to a local charity. .-= My Frugal Miser´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.myfrugalmiser.com/2009/09/take-sailor-shower-780month.html" rel="nofollow">Take a Sailor Shower ($7.80/month)</a> =-.
