Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. When trying to reduce your environmental impact the primary focus should be on reducing the amount of waste generated, followed by reusing anything you possibly can, and finally recycling whatever is left. Recycling rather than discarding prevents thousands of tons of rubbish entering landfill sites every year and saves even more chemical by-products entering the atmosphere when waste is incinerated.
Recycling and reusing are always the best options, however, it’s also important to know which items can’t be recycled. Mixing non-recyclables with recycling can actually cause more damage as it may result in the entire load becoming contaminated and discarded.

Whether you’re buying new furniture or simply decluttering and need to get rid of some bulky goods, there are plenty of options for how you can dispose of it – and do it correctly. Taking it to the local tip is out. The last thing you want is your goods to become landfill, polluting the air and the oceans. And the good thing about furniture is that the majority of it is recyclable – in one way or another. According to a survey of 2,500 households in Australian metro areas, the average household disposes of around 24 kilograms of furniture per annum. Around one third is lounges and soft furnishings. The rest is wooden furniture. At least, that’s the reported amount – not including what people take to the tip themselves.
Thankfully, those figures are changing with each year, and people are looking for better solutions than wastage and landfill. If you have large household furniture you want to get rid of, but you’re not sure where to start, check out our top 10 handy tips below.
The easiest way to get rid of your old bulky goods is to swap it. If you’re buying new furniture and getting it delivered, see if the delivery truck will take away the old furniture at the same time. You’ll find that many white goods stores and also furniture stores are happy to do this.
Upcycling is giving something that is no longer in use a new life, making it more useful, desirable, and attractive than it was before. An example could be using an old skateboard to make a chair, turning an old ladder into a bookshelf, even turning an old bathtub into lounges. The options are endless. Upcycling lets you get as creative as your imagination will allow. It is not only fun, it’s also great for the environment and your waste is being re-used rather than ending up in landfill.
If your goods are in good condition, get in touch with your local charities and see if there’s any interest. Many of these charities will have their own trucks that will come to your home and pick up any goods you no longer want. As long as they are in good enough condition that the charity can then on-sell them.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure – or so the saying goes. If you really don’t want to do anything with your goods, or if you think your large items are no good anymore, someone else might be able to use them. It’s a great idea to try this avenue before you do anything else. Put an ad online and put a small price on it if you don’t think it’s worth much. See if it gets any hits.
If you don’t sell it for the small price online, give it away for free if they come and pick it up themselves. There are always people out there who love to upcycle old furniture and household goods, so you might as well see if you can pique their interest. If you don’t have anyone contact you after a couple of days, consider other avenues.
Before you load your old goods up on the ute or trailer, check with your local recycle centre to see if they are accepting the trash you have. If so, tell them you’re on your way, get your gloves on, grab a mate to help you, and start lifting. Head over to the recycle centre and send it on its way.
While this isn’t possible with most large bulky items, if you’re really keen to include your old furniture in your general trash, you can – you just need to make sure it’s cut up into small pieces and will fit entirely in your bin first. Keep in mind that if you go down this path, the majority of your items won’t be recyclable, so you’ll have to put them into the red lid bin, not the yellow bin.
If all of the above fails, you still have choices. First, see if your local council is doing a bulky goods pick-up any time soon. Some councils do a collection every six months or so and have a set day that they come out. If they don’t do that, they may instead provide a service where they’ll come out and pick up the rubbish instead at your request. This service may not be free, but it will take the waste off your hands. This DIY option will mean lifting heavy furniture items yourself as the council will not come into your home to remove your rubbish for you.
After you’ve exhausted all other avenues, or if you simply can’t be bothered and just want your old furniture gone, hire a rubbish removal company. Rubbish removalists will come to your home and pick up any rubbish you might have – and dispose of it for you. If the furniture is in good condition, they’ll donate it to a local charity. Or they will take it to your local recycle centre.
Although there are a lot of ways in which you can dispose of your bulky furniture items, you want to choose the best and most convenient way for you. If you want to get creative, try upcycling. If you prefer to give it to someone who needs it, put it online or call your local charities. If you simply want to get rid of it fast, get someone else to do the job – whether that’s the local council, a charity or a rubbish removal service. Just make sure you have someone reputable taking care of your trash so it ends up in the right place. Cheapest Load of Rubbish provides high quality rubbish removal Sydney services, so get in touch with the team today!
Remote work certainly isn’t a new phenomenon. But thanks to the pandemic, millions of us had no choice but to start working from home for the first time. People everywhere have been trying to work productively in all kinds of makeshift home offices, on dining-room tables, and even lying in their bed.
For many, learning how to transition from working in an office to at home has obviously been challenging to say the least. What many haven’t realised, is that they need to create a dedicated workspace inside their home in order to maximise their productivity.
As the old idiom says, there’s a place for everything so everything is in place. But if you’re not sure where to start, these tips and tricks below will help you design the perfect home office which will ensure every day at work is a productive one.
Creating your own workspace in a distinct area is important because it helps you keep work life and home life independent of each other, which also helps your overall concentration and productivity. While setting up a dedicated home office properly for your work is important for temporary remote work arrangements, it’s even more necessary if this situation is likely to be a long term deal.
The ideal home office would be set up in a spare room with a door that’s large enough to fit a desk, chair, and computer equipment inside. If this is possible for you, that’s great. Thankfully there are options for those of us without an empty room just sitting there. For example, some may be able to convert their guest room into a dual-purpose area which works as an office most days and can become a guest room whenever there are visitors.
If there’s no spare room available in your home, you can always move a desk into a corner or in front of a window to create an office nook. It doesn’t have to be a massively large or expansive area, just as long as it’s a dedicated workspace separate from other areas. Once you have your new office set up at home, you’ll find it much easier to concentrate on getting work done and be as productive as possible during work hours.
The perfect office space won’t be the same for every person working from home. So, the first step in ensuring your space is productive is to decide exactly what you need from your home office. Keep in mind too that your needs will obviously depend on what type of work it is that you do. This will ultimately make the entire process so much easier.
Now that you’ve worked out where your new workspace will be, and what your needs are for the area, it’s time to start setting up your new home office. Clutter decreases your productivity, so start decluttering and cleaning out the area so you can organise everything to work best for you. This includes deciding what furniture and other junk you want removed and disposed of. If there’s no place for it inside your new office, you may need rubbish removal services.
You’ll also want space ergonomic furniture in your new home office because you’re going to be spending lots of time working there each week. In addition to being essential for your overall good health, ergonomic furniture will also help increase your comfort while you work, so you’ll also be able to concentrate and focus better as a result. Consider adding some house plants to reduce stress, elevate your mood, and brighten up your new office.
In order to be as organised and tidy as possible, everything you need should always be easily accessible within reach. And you also want to avoid wasting any time searching for documents in multiple disorganised piles of them. The best way to do this is with a filing cabinet and a few desk trays for all of your pending and completed work.
Just remember that while ensuring the space has a comfortable atmosphere where you enjoy being, don’t make it too casual. That would seriously impede your ability to work fastidiously and get everything done on time.
When you want rubbish removal to dispose of unwanted office equipment, there’s plenty of available options. Some are easier than others, whereas some are a lot more environmentally friendly.
List it online
So much stuff gets unexpectedly snapped up when it gets listed online, especially if it’s free. You can get literally almost anything picked up by someone, even if it’s old, broken, and dirty. Just remember that people chasing free listings are much more likely to waste your time by not showing up.
Curbside pickup
If you’ve only got a few items of furniture, disposing of them might be as simple as dragging them out to the sidewalk. Just make sure you touch base with your local council and find out when the next pick up is. You don’t want it sitting there for 6 months and you end up getting a fine for it.
Make a donation
If it’s in decent condition, contact local charities and thrift shops like Salvos and Goodwill and ask if they’re interested. Only use this option for items in good working order, because charities are busy enough in our community. The last thing they need is having to deal with your junk.

Did you know that most bacteria inside your home isn’t on the floor or inside the trash can? It’s actually your kitchen sponge. In fact, the University of Arizona found so much bacteria on kitchen sponges they could be over 200,000 times nastier than toilet seats.
Thankfully, a 2002 study has found that routine home cleaning is often sufficient to keep our living spaces clean. Combine that with good personal hygiene, regularly wash our hands, and we can protect ourselves from germs, bacteria, and illnesses.
Home hygiene products have been designed specifically for keeping the living areas, food prep areas, bedrooms, and bathrooms comfortable and clean.
But even the cleanest homes need a good deep clean now and then. And regular cleaning is even more important after the COVID-19 pandemic. So with that in mind, here are some home hygiene information and tips for making your house even cleaner.
Studies have shown that the kitchen is typically one of the most problematic areas in our homes. Practically every kitchen surface is ground zero when it comes to harbouring bacteria and transferring infections, and a study in 2020 detected live coronavirus on plastic and stainless steel for up to 72 hours.
According to studies in 2008 and 2011 kitchens are often more heavily contaminated than bathrooms, with the highest concentrations of bacteria found in and around the sink area. Thankfully they also reported that regular cleaning with common household products significantly reduced the levels of bacteria.
That means you should wipe down all kitchen surfaces regularly, including the counter, table, stove, and microwave, disinfecting as necessary. Always wash dishes immediately after use, store all food in sealed containers, and make sure the bin lid is always closed.
Carpet can hold up to 8 times its own weight in dust, which is comparatively more dirt than an average city street. It is very easy for these particles of dust and dirt to be dispersed into the air, potentially causing illness if inhaled. Plus food debris in carpet is very attractive to insects, rodents, and other pests.
By far the best option for carpets is to have them steam cleaned regularly and shake out your rugs as well. Vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, wiping, and mopping are also important for keeping all your living spaces hygienic and clean. You may also be able to use an air purifier may capture any infected droplets from elsewhere in the home.
According to a 2013 study, microbial dust found in beds and bedrooms may influence asthma, atopy, rhinitis, and other allergies in both children and adults. Not only do these little dust mites lay eggs and generate waste, but they also reduce air quality and cause irritation whether you’re allergic to them or not. Add in some of your hair and plenty of dead skin, and it becomes a disgusting allergen-filled combo that makes me want to change my sheets and clean my room right now.
Thankfully by regularly sweeping or vacuuming your bedroom floor helps keep them free from dust mites and other debris. And steam clean them regularly to clear out bacteria. You should also declutter the bedroom closet to reduce places for dust and mites. Start with any clothes you haven’t worn lately and bag them all for donating. While you’re at it, you may as well do a big spring clean. Take out any old electronics, broken furniture, old toys, and whatever else to the garage and arrange for, Cheapest Load Of Rubbish removal Sydney.
Mould and other microorganisms can multiply rapidly and thrive in moist environments like bathrooms, which can cause many health problems. Also, a 1975 study showed that both bacteria and viruses remained inside the toilet bowl after flushing, and even after continual flushing. These droplets from flushing toilets which contain both bacteria and viruses, often remain airborne long enough to settle on bathroom surfaces and cause infection. In fact, a 1990 study showed that coliform faecal matter can typically survive around 24 hours on bathroom surfaces, or even as long as 36 hours.
Thankfully, studies have shown that regular use of household cleaning products and disinfectants can be used effectively to reduce contamination. But the most important aspects of good bathroom hygiene are always closing the toilet lid before flushing and washing your hands correctly afterwards.
The quickest and most effective method of dusting each room to go from top to bottom and left to right. Start dusting from the highest spot of each room, like the top of cabinets or shelves, and work your way from the left across the room to the right. That way you won’t accidentally knock dust anywhere you’ve already cleaned and it will also ensure you don’t miss anything. Don’t forget to dust the top of all the furniture, picture frames, televisions, knick-knacks, and all handrails.
While you’re dusting, it’s a good idea to clear out any clutter. Either find somewhere else to have it, put it into storage, or organise rubbish removal for any stuff you no longer want. Not only will clearing out visible clutter make cleaning your home easier, but seeing all that extra space and tidy surfaces can also help increase motivation levels for keeping your house clean.
Don’t forget to clean your personal items with disinfectant wipes as well. This is because out of 22 homes surveyed in a 2011 NSF study, staph was present on all of the following items:
The NSF also found mould, yeast, and faecal, contamination present on these items:
Don’t forget that you can also bring bacteria, germs, and viruses into your home on your shoes, clothes, and smartphone. This is why the most effective methodC of protecting our families from illnesses and viruses is good personal hygiene combined with good home hygiene practices. So regularly wipe down anywhere your fingers touch and always wash your hands, especially after going to the toilet and before eating food.
There have been countless studies done over the years regarding the cleanliness and hygiene of our bathrooms. The sad news is that yes, your bathroom surfaces are most likely covered in a lot of different microbial bacteria.
While most bacteria in your bathroom predictably comes from the toilet, it can very easily spread to other areas, especially when flushing with the lid up. Thanks to what’s known as the aerosol effect, bacteria lands on most bathroom surfaces where they thrive in damp and dark places which aren’t cleaned as frequently as they should be. A study in 2011 found the germiest spot in your bathroom is actually your toothbrush holder.
In fact, it only takes 2 to 4 hours for bacteria on a doorknob to spread throughout 40% to 60% of all surfaces in the bathroom. So even the most immaculately spotless bathroom can still be contaminated with germs. And irregular cleaning and rubbish removal in Sydney, it certainly elevates the risk of germ and virus transmission.
Despite it being the one room that so easily seems to turn into chaos, the benefits of having an organised bathroom actually go well beyond just aesthetics. Sure, an ordered bathroom does look great, but it’s also much more relaxing. Besides, an organised bathroom is just easier to use, as there’s a place to store everything and all the products you need are neatly arranged and easily accessible. Oh, and of course it also makes it easier to keep clean, sanitary, and hygienic.
Which is important because, somewhat ironically, the smallest room in our home typically has the widest variety of different surfaces which need to be kept clean. There’s floors, countertops, sinks, tiles, mirrors, windows, screens, and of course toilets. And if you also have too much clutter and unnecessary furniture in your bathroom, that means even more surfaces for bacteria to live that must be kept clean.
Not only is a clean environment important for your health, but you also need to ensure your bathroom is as safe as possible too. According to the CDC, the littlest room is also statistically the most dangerous. Out of the almost 250,000 adults who are injured in the bathroom each year, around 15% are hospitalised. Over 66% of these injuries happened near the shower or bathtub, 33% were in the bath or shower, and around 15% were while using or getting off the toilet.
And the stats in Australia aren’t much different. In fact, there were over 100,000 fall-related hospitalisations during 2016-17. That’s an average of 273 people per day. Falls are the most common home-related injury by far making up for 72% of hospital admissions. Out of the 58% of these falls which occurred at home, the bathroom was the number 1 place inside. About 40% of these fall-related injuries happened on the same floor level, with 15% said to be caused by a household object.
Whether your bathroom is spacious and beautiful or tiny and cramped, it’s always going to be much easier to keep clean, safe, and hygienic when it’s organised. And it’s a waste of time organising bathroom products and other stuff that you don’t need or never use, so it’s a good idea to start by decluttering. Here’s how you can take steps to ensure your bathroom is clutter-free and as functional as possible.
Take a look around with a fresh pair of eyes and take stock of all furniture, artwork, storage bins, and decorative items in your bathroom. By getting rid of all the extra surfaces which only seem to produce more clutter, you’ll be able to establish a much more calming space that’s functional and easier to keep clean. Rubbish removal Sydney can help here!
Then it’s time to go through your bathroom products to see what you can dispose of, so grab some empty boxes or large trash bags. Start working your way around the bathroom and systematically go through each storage spot like cupboards and drawers, as well as all of your shelves and other surfaces. Pull out all of your makeup, lotions, medications, grooming tools, hair products, and cleaning supplies and sort it all into three different categories of keep, donate, and discard.
The most common reason bathrooms get so messy is a lack of proper storage space. Utilise any storage areas outside your bathroom to keep any extra stuff that you need, but don’t actually use that much. When it comes to storing the products you do use often, you want to keep them hidden away while still keeping them close enough to be accessible. This helps create a much tidier look overall while also ensuring it’s easier for cleaning.
If you have an old washing machine in your bathroom or laundry, replacing it with a new style one might give you some more storage space. But if you don’t have enough room for everything in your bathroom you need, you can add some new furniture for extra bathroom storage. Just make sure to use cupboards rather than shelving to stop germs and bacteria from landing on everything. Plus you can always use the inside of cabinet doors. Your other option is a full bathroom renovation with newly built-in storage and a brand new vanity.
It can get pretty overwhelming with so much junk after a big bathroom clean up, especially because many products have some level of hazardous waste. Most bathroom trash should never be mixed with other rubbish in your bins and definitely not in with the recyclables. That means you always have to check product labels for every item before disposing of them. All of the hazardous products must be set aside and disposed of separately. TerraCycle is a great recycling program for bathroom products like tubes of toothpaste and dental floss containers.
Now that everything’s organised, you’ll need to get all of your waste disposed of. If you end up fully renovating your bathroom, you’ll need to dispose of all the old plumbing fixtures and broken tiles, as well as the vanity, toilet, shower, and basin. So once everything in your old bathroom has been dismantled, you could take it all to your local tip and recycling centre. Any bathroom items or furniture in reasonable condition should be upcycled, as it helps the planet by giving them all a new purpose instead of ending up in landfill.
