When we think of clutter busting we think of getting rid of items we already have. But it can also be about reducing what we bring into the house, reusing what we have already as well as recycling items whether that be via the recycling center or to gift it to someone else.
In fact, many of us are used to recycling. Yet the first two items are just as important. To really tackle the issues of clutter, we should reduce how much we use or bring into our homes and reuse whatever we can. Then recycle what is left over.
Here are some ideas for reducing:
- Use glass containers or sandwich/snack bags such as LunchSkins.
- Use silicone baking mats.
- You can use parchment paper over again when baking several batches of cookies until it gets dirty, brittle or dark.
- Utilize reusable grocery bags.
- Avoid individually wrapped items, snack packs, and single-serve containers. Buy large containers of items or from bulk bins whenever practical.
