I set the time on the microwave for an hour and tried to do some cleaning (aka going through things and putting them away/throwing them out). I took a full kitchen sized garbage bag of recycling to the dumpster toward the end....

Kenya Importing recycled paper... makes no sense

SIDDI KIMPOLE @SIDIKIMPOLE (3480) • Eldoret, Kenya 18 Mar

Any time I see and use imported printing paper and at the same time witness our garbage collectors burn our waste papers I wonder what kind of leadership we have. I wonder whether equipment used for paper recycling could be too...

Working on Mini Collages

Ali Canary @AliCanary (4427) 15 Nov

I think I shared that I had been getting into making little collages recently - maybe I shared the first one I made, with the letter M on it? Lately, I've been making wedding-themed collages because I have some little decorative...

Fleur @Fleura (35034) • United Kingdom 7 Oct

Today I went to the recycling centre/ tip, to get rid of the rusty remains of an old wheelbarrow (which we already recycled as a barbecue, but now the entire bottom has rusted away!), some empty gas canisters from camping, and a...

Well...

Stacey @xstitcher (39034) • Petaluma, California 3 Jul

I watered the plants and washed a few things in the kitchen sink. After that I set the microwave timer for 99 minutes and 99 seconds and started in on one of the bags of stuff that I took off the desk. Sometime in there took a...

Dry garbage

Always smiling @allknowing (153530) • India 30 Mar 25

Our local government is doing a good job collecting garbage from door to door. Once a week they come for dry garbage which mostly has plastic bags. I really do not know what they do with that stuff. If they are recycling it...

Just in time!

Fleur @Fleura (35034) • United Kingdom 10 Oct 24

Today is ‘bin day’, when our rubbish or recycling is collected. Normally we put our bins on the roadside on Wednesday evening ready for collection Thursday morning, but yesterday we all clean forgot. I only remembered when I was...

Another gray day here. I plan to either cook rice or have mashed potatoes for lunch with a piece of fried chicken breast with mustard. After I get ready, I´ll go upstairs to check and throw away some old papers I got out of the...

Sir, You've Hit Rock Bottom

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 30 Jun 24

Well, we finally turned crushed aluminum cans in yesterday. Not a bad haul for this run at 65 cents per pound and roughly 100 pounds of cans—can I call this, "How myLot helped me to make another $65 today," or would I have to pay...

Slight breeze...

Stacey @xstitcher (39034) • Petaluma, California 8 Jun 24

I went out to water the plants on the patio, and it feels like there's a slight breeze outside. That's always nice. Now the plants have been watered, and the recycling needs to be taken down to the dumpster, as the...

Calling myself done...

Stacey @xstitcher (39034) • Petaluma, California 2 Jan 24

I didn't quite get both garbage and recycling cans full, but I got the garbage can full and put out. Now it's after 1 p.m., and my head is feeling a little weird--stuffy/foggy or something. It's overcast outside, and a bit...

Got rid of my recycled stuff

LK2018 @Letranknight2015 (52665) • Philippines 22 Aug 23

I kept forgetting them because last two weeks of the month something important happens. Then I forget to have them surrendered to the village where the junkyard guys collects the recycled items. Good thing the officer sent one...

We Found a Kennedy Half Dollar!

Kharla Jolly @kobesbuddy (78833) • East Tawas, Michigan 27 Jul 23

Yesterday, I was helping Jay load two worn out washers and one broken dryer. With the one machine, pocket change started dropping out of the bottom, onto the ground! Of course, I did pick it up and we joked about making another...

Done...

Stacey @xstitcher (39034) • Petaluma, California 29 May 23

I finished what I was doing and sat down here at around 10:55 a.m. Did some cleaning in here--throwing papers out and putting things away or in the recycling can. Found a bill that I wrote a check for and took to the mailbox....

Going through people's trash

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52149) • Staten Island, New York 3 Apr 23

I feel bad for these people that walk around the streets and look through people's trash and recycling (and public trash cans as well) for plastic bottles and cans they can give to the store for a 5 cent refund per bottle/can (or...

A "Well, duh..." moment

Stacey @xstitcher (39034) • Petaluma, California 31 Mar 23

I finally went into my room to see what I could start with. I put a lot of clothes in the washer for this evening, my laundry hamper is overflowing. I noticed this huge box by my bed that had been there so long I'd forgotten...

About throwing away. Recycling.

marguicha @marguicha (230350) • Chile 22 Mar 23

I just read a post by @fleura about throwing away and recycling. And I remembered again that in my country people have turned the beautiful Atacama desert into a dumpster. When I when there with my husband over 30 years ago,...

The things people throw away!

Fleur @Fleura (35034) • United Kingdom 22 Mar 23

I am constantly shocked by the things people just chuck out without thinking. I have never understood the ‘throw-away’ society, even though it was what my generation grew up with. A house round the corner from us has had some...

Afternoon walk and mail...

Stacey @xstitcher (39034) • Petaluma, California 26 Nov 22

Went to get my mail, and then continue on for the rest of the half hour. Got something else I ordered, though as usual I won't remember what it is until I open it. Never bought from TEMU before, so I hope,...
