Trying to Stay Green with Trash Compactor Manufacturers

At home, we have a decently large trashcan in our kitchen. With this one, we are able to change it about once a week. Meanwhile at our small cottage, the main trash is very tiny. This one usually needs to be taken out every couple days. In both cases, a decent amount of trash is produced. Some households purchase small trash compactors so that these amounts can be reduced. However, the majority of us rely on garbage trucks with compactors to come take care of the waste for us. By compacting waste the size of the Continue reading

Whenever I see footage or a photo of a sea animal caught in a trash bag, or a plastic ring that was used to hold pop bottles, I get one of the worst sinking feelings in my stomach.

Often, it is a complete accident. It may not have been littering, the bag might Continue reading
