It’s that time of year again! The summer fun is winding down, and a new school year is just around the corner. As you’re busy buying new supplies, organizing backpacks, and getting back into a routine, don’t forget about your trash cans!

Why Your Trash Cans Need a “Back to School” Check-up

Think about all the things coming into your home and the increased activity, and then how that impacts your outside bins:

• Lunchbox leftovers: Those half-eaten sandwiches and fruit peels get tossed, and if they sit in your bin, they can get pretty smelly, pretty fast.
• Art project scraps: Glitter, glue, and paper bits add up and can leave sticky residue in your household bins, which then transfers to your large outside cans.
• More snack wrappers: After-school munchies mean more wrappers and crumbs making their way into your trash.
• Germs, germs, everywhere: School means more exposure to everyday germs. Your trash cans, especially with decaying food waste, can easily become a breeding ground for bacteria and odors if not handled correctly.

Simple Steps for Healthier Trash Habits

Getting back into a clean routine for your trash cans doesn’t have to be a chore. Here are some easy tips:

• Empty indoor bins regularly: Those small bathroom and kitchen trash cans fill up quicker than you think. Getting that waste out to your main outside bin often prevents odors from building up inside your home and keeps pests away from your indoor bins.
• Rinse out recyclables: Before tossing plastic containers or cans into your recycling bin, give them a quick rinse. This stops sugary or greasy residues from attracting bugs or creating smells.
• Bag smelly items tightly: For really smelly items like old food or used paper towels from a sickness, double-bag them, or at least tie them up really tightly, before tossing them into your outdoor bin.
