Household Hints

You should separate degradable waste to non-degradable.

You should know how to place the waste materials in a plastic bag properly.

There are many ways to dispose of garbage in an environmentally friendly manner. By recycling and composting your trash, you will reduce the need for landfills and save money. Many cities and towns have implemented recycling programs, making it easy to do the right thing for the planet. Be sure to dispose of hazardous materials, such as batteries and heavy duty cleaning products, in a safe and environmentally conscious manner as well.

• Place recyclable trash into a designated recycling bin and have it picked during your normal trash service. Recyclable items include plastics, paper, cans and cardboard. Many trash services supply households with recycling bins, and pick up recyclable items along with garbage.Some states, such as California, have recycling programs that reimburse money for recycled objects such as tin cans or glass and plastic bottles.

• Place compostable garbage items in a bin located outside of your home. Some compostable materials include untreated paper products, biodegradable plastic, any part of a fruit or vegetable such as the seeds or rinds, food, and matches. Compost consists of decomposing organic matter.

• Place trash items that are not recyclable or compostable into a garbage bag and put it into a trash can. There are a number of different types of trash cans available, and they are commonly made of plastic, wood and or metal. Most cities and towns have garbage pickup readily available for a small fee. If you live in an area that doesn't offer a trash service, bring your garbage to a local dump. Dumps may charge per pound, making it cost-effective to recycle and compost items to minimize the weight of the garbage.
• Hazardous materials, such as paint cans, used oil and chemical-based products, should be taken to a local company that will correctly dispose of the materials. Most recycling companies will accept hazardous material, and will dispose of it in a an environmentally friendly manner. Do not dispose of hazardous materials in garbage bins.

The answer above is correct though many people think that is makes no difference. So I suggest you get a lot of answers from people and find the majority.

This always helps me, the night before I have to get up early, I get everything done that I can, (for example, finding the things you need to find, that will give you more time to get ready for something else, I'm not saying to brush your teeth the night before, just to get most of the things done that you're for sure you can finish). Make yourself a routine. Do not set more tasks than you can finish. Do not procrastinate, get the job done.

Let's say, for example, that you need to go to the grocery store, pick up dry cleaning, go to the Dentist, get your oil changed, and go to the bookstore. How should go about completing these errands? First, check to see where each errand is located. Is the dry cleaning across town or is it close to the bookstore. Set up a route that you will travel that will prevent any back tracking on yourself. You don't want to spend any extra time on the road if you don't have to.

Also keep in mind the traffic patterns. Avoid heading to the bank and such places during the lunch hour and around 4pm. These services are usually swamped at those times. Also try to avoid being in the thick of rush hour.

Write your planned route on a piece of paper so you don't forget any stops.

Answer

The key thing to errands is to keep up with the ones you need to do so that the list does not become too long. However, 4 to 5 stops are enough for a morning. Preparation before leaving the house helps; eat a good meal so you do not get hungry midway through the tasks; if you need to grocery shop before other stops, use a cooler in your trunk to keep the food cold; if possible, choose the store that can supply more than one of the items you need. be the first one there when a store opens; and, most importantly, make a list. Start out with a full tank of gas, taking a circular route to all of the stops you need to make, so that you do not end up doubling back.

Answer

Don't get distracted, and stay on task.

Plan your errands so that you do related items together, for example if you have to go to the hardware store to grab that item and the bank is across the street, do your banking errand to instead of waiting until the day you have to go. Planning your errands together will be surprisingly efficient. You may find that several small errands on separate days are less daunting for you. I have two kids and that has always helped us to have a more enjoyable and productive family life being a single parent. And some people don't think of it, may sound silly but ASK FOR HELP when you need it.

Answer

Make it a game. If you think it is fun, you will get into it and time will fly.

Answer

For me, finishing errands in a timely way, is that you know what are the things you should do and what are the best way to make those easier to finish; planning ahead. For instance for everyday living when your working you should at least think what to wear tomorrow morning, think of the snack you want to bring, make all your stuff ready for tomorrow. especially the things in your bag check if all was already there that you might need for tomorrow prepare everything the night before, so that when morning comes at least all ready and you don't have to rush for everything and scatter everything making the house a mess when you're running late already.

It is good to stay always prepared.

If you have a wasp nest then call an exterminator. If you are feeling brave then use some insecticide spray on them in the evening and be ready to possibly get stung in the process.

If they aren't bothering anything it might be best to leave them alone.
