Are you amazed at how much garbage your family produces each week? If so, take the challenge to produce a smaller pile of trash each week.
Even though your household IS creating waste from several people, chances are there are lots of opportunities to make smarter decisions that reduce the load on the landfill and planet. Start by getting in the habit of considering the garbage that will result each time you buy, use or need to get rid of an item.
To help, Cozi and Glad Trash are offering this list of reminders for keeping trash to a minimum. And keep in the habit during birthday parties, dinner gatherings, or family camping trips!
Eliminate all but essential single-use items. Instead use real dishes, napkins and reusable containers and water bottles.
Buy food in bulk, making sure to select options that contain more food than packaging. One jug with a gallon of juice is way better than juice boxes that have 6 ounces of juice in each box.
Before buying durable goods new, consider whether you can find it pre-owned. Shop second hand stores, search craigslist and Freecycle, and ask friends and neighbors for the item first.
Consider donations or swaps for items you might otherwise throw away. That old toaster, laptop or bin of kids’ clothes can have a second life with another family!
Look for quality products that will last longer than cheaply made alternatives. You’ll save money in the long run.
Cook at home from fresh ingredients, cutting down on pre-packaged meals and take-out food in packed containers and bags.
Bring reusable bags to every store, they’re not just for the supermarket anymore! Some stores will even give you a bag discount.
Set up an easy-to-use sorting system for recycling, compost and garbage, and keep it in place during parties and gatherings.
Skip the junk mail. Let unwanted magazine subscriptions run out, and opt out of catalogs and other junk mail so you don’t have to throw it away. Catalog Choice is a good place to start.

Use white distilled vinegar to clean your:
Dishwasher: To disinfect the interior of the machine, pour ½ cup vinegar into the reservoir and run an empty cycle.
Drains: Pour vinegar down the drain to clean drains and deodorize the garbage disposal. After 30 minutes, flush with cold water.

Floors: Add ¼ cup vinegar to a bucket of warm water to clean almost any type of tile or slate floor (avoid marble and hardwoods).

Coffeemaker: Pour equal parts vinegar and water into the machine’s water chamber, then switch on the brew cycle. Halfway through, turn off the coffeemaker and let solution sit for about an hour, then complete the cycle. Follow with two or three cycles of clean water.

Glassware: For spotless hand-washed glasses, add 1 cup vinegar to the rinse water.

Moldy places: Spray vinegar on the shower walls or curtains to clean or prevent mold. After about 15 minutes, rinse and let dry thoroughly.
Windows: Mix ¼ cup vinegar, 2 cups water, and a scant sq**rt of liquid Castile soap in a spray bottle. Spritz windows and wipe with a sheet of newspaper.
Microwave: Put one cup vinegar and one cup water in a bowl and microwave on high for about 10 minutes or until boiling. Afterward, stains and dried food should be easy to wipe away.
Carpet spills: After removing as much liquid as you can, spray the stain with a solution of half vinegar and half water and let sit for two minutes. Blot with a towel.
Toilet: Pour three cups of vinegar into bowl and let sit for a half-hour to deodorize and sparkle.
Kitchen: Clean countertops or a splattered oven door with a cloth soaked in undiluted white vinegar. (Leave oven door open for 10-15 minutes afterward). Use a half-and-half solution of vinegar and water on stubborn buildup on refrigerator shelves. Spray the same solution on the grill for easier clean-up.

Upholstered furniture: To remove odors, sprinkle baking soda on the fabric, then vacuum.

Silverflatware: Make a paste with three parts baking soda and one part water. Rub onto the silver with a clean cloth to polish. Rinse with water.
Oven: Clean spills by scrubbing the bottom of the oven with steel wool and baking soda. (Note: Don’t use if you have a self-cleaning oven.)
Hairbrushes and combs: Soak brushes and combs in a baking soda/water solution to clean.
Bathroom: Make your own scouring cleanser with ¼ cup baking soda, a tablespoon of liquid detergent, and enough white vinegar to make a creamy texture.
