Week 6 of 52 Week Organization Challenge

I am a few weeks behind!  Here is the link for week 6. This week was creating a home recycling center and dealing with trash.  An easy but important challenge for me.  We already have a really good system down for our recycling and trash issues.  Our recycling items do not have to be sorted and are just dumped into our big recycling bin, taken to the curb every 2 weeks and is emptied by the recycling man!  We are very aware of things that can be recycled and try to put everything that we can in there.  Even our 5 year old is really good about asking or knowing if something can be recycled and putting it in there as well.  Our recycling bin in the house is something that isn't the cutest but works for what we need it to do!  We use an old, emptied and cleaned plastic kitty litter container! 

Once it gets full, about every other day, we just take it out our back door and empty it into the city provided big recycling bin. This bin sits right around the corner of the kitchen so it makes it super easy for us to recycle!

We have a good system already in place as well for our everyday trash, just an ordinary trash can that Brian empties when it gets full.  With this challenge though I did give the trash can and surrounding area a nice clean!

The next weekly challenge is Coupons!
