Reuse small containers for trash & compost in the bathroom, office, etc. Research has shown that the larger the trashcan, the more likely you are to fill it up, so in reverse try smaller or no containers. We have 13 gallon kitchen bins and tiny bathroom bins. No other rooms have bins; you have to travel. Each bathroom has trash and compost, and we carry recycling down to the kitchen bin. We don’t line the bathroom bins and just wipe them out as needed.
Rubbish! The Archaeology of Garbage by William Rathje & Cullen Murphy is one of my favorite green books. I first read it from the library but loved the data so much I found a used copy and it’s prized in my personal library.
