Aluminum Foil Recycling: a lot of lids, particularly for dairy, are aluminum foil and once clean and dry, can be balled up and recycled in single stream once your ball reaches 2 inches. Check that your recycling provider allows for this because they don’t all do that yet. #aluminum#aluminumfoil#recycle#smoothies#atxrecycles#yogurtStonyfield@icelandicprovisions#sourcreamDaisy Brand#yogurtdrinksActivia#zerowaste#greenliving#kids

I made a curtain tieback with leftover ribbon. It turned out okay. I should have researched more first and gone slower but it works! #reuse#sewing#scrapfabric#curtwins #diy#zerowaste#replacement
Decluttering/letting go of pins and brooches. I’ve mulled, I’ve waited and there’s still too many little things. My mental health needs space. I’m rehoming these to neighbors and @austincreativereuse. #declutter#organize#rehome#morespace#lettinggo#reuse#mentalhealth#zerowaste#trich#trichotillomania
Save time and money with drywall anchors! These are so helpful to hang things! The hardware that came with the toilet paper roll holder was worthless. The anchor that came with it looks sturdy in the pictures, but it’s not flush and is in fact completely loose and won’t hold the bar in place. The…
We have a new friend in the backyard! I put out these branches we gather on our walks just for this purpose. A lizard finally took me up on our offer! #lizards# backyard #reuse #sticks #backyardwildlife #backyardhabitat
Legos can be cleaned with makeup brushes. @bricksandminifigsatx shared the secret with me the last time I was in there. Feather dusters don’t work and they get caught on everything, and an air blower, like compression air for your computer, is too strong.
