Easter Collection Schedule
Welcome back to our blog series on helping you reduce household waste. From the 1st of July every household in the country will pay for bin collection on a pay by weight basis so reducing the weight in your bins has a financial benefit for your household. In today’s blog post, we address our six top tip for using your recycling bin wisely!
As the clock ticks down to the changeover to ‘Pay by Weight,’ we have compiled your most frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions not answered in the below blog post on ‘Pay by Weight’ please email us to domestic@BarnaRecycling.com.
In light of the introduction of new government legislation all households in the country will be paying for their waste on a pay by weight basis from the 1st of July onwards.
Pay by Weight is based on the principle of “the more you waste, the more you pay.” In practice, this also means that if you waste less, you will be rewarded by paying less.
So, “how do we waste less?” we hear you ask! At Barna Recycling, we have decided to provide you with a regular blogpost full of helpful tips on how you can reduce your household waste! Read our first blogpost on smart meal planning and shopping to reduce food waste!
Christmas is the most festive period of the year which means there is plenty of food, Christmas cards, decorations and wrapping paper bought every year. Unfortunately, most of this is wasted or not disposed of properly.
In our first Hungry Hugh’s Recipe Center post we’ve kept it really quick and easy to make. You can have a dinner in a matter of minutes!
No matter how much we try to buy only what we need, or cook only what we’ll eat, portion control and sell by dates get us every time!
For this reason Barna Recycling is developing a series of Recipe ideas that can be created from the usual left over suspects in your fridge and surplus dinners. Check out our blog for inspirational ideas and get reusing today.
Animals are a man’s best friend….or so the saying goes. Why not try out some of our ‘Funky Recycling Ideas for your Pets’ and do your bit for the environment while you’re at it!!
