Tomorrow is trash day in our area, which means I’ll be lugging our trash and recycling containers to the curb this evening. Ugh.

It’s not a task I enjoy to say the least, which is one of the reasons why I’m always working to make the load a little lighter. The less trash we generate as a family, the easier it is for me to make my weekly garbage and recycling trips.

Of course, my reasons for trying to reduce our household waste are not purely selfish. Less waste in our trashcan means less waste going into our landfills, which is better for our environment overall.
