How I Save Garbage Bags by Reducing My Waste.

How I Save Garbage Bags by Reducing My Waste.

Your trash bags are filling up too fast and you would like to buy them less often? I offer you these silly but really effective tips to save garbage bags by reducing your waste.

A single watchword for filling your trash bags less:sorting.

Packaging

Your packets of cakes, laundry detergent boxes, food cartons, paper towel rolls, etc. will be much better in your sorting bin than in your trash.

Personally, I try to favor products with as little packaging as possible. Thus, I generate less waste.

The Glass

All your glass bottles and jars should be put in your sorting bin or in the special glass container of your choice (you can find them everywhere).

Composter

I always have a small plastic bowl next to my sink. I put my vegetable and fruit peelings, my soft coffee capsules, leftover meals, etc. Afterwards, I empty everything into the composter that I installed in my garden.

When there's bread left, I either make French toast or throw it on my lawn. Thus, the birds come to peck at it and my children love to watch them do it through the window!

And you, how do you save your trash bags? Tell us in the comments.

Savings Achieved

With this trick, you will use 2 times less garbage bags. 25 bin bags of 30 liters cost about 1€50 and last about 1 month. If you use 2 times less, you therefore earn €9 over the year .
