House owners of concrete Australian homes have the benefit of having sturdy protective walls that could last them plenty of lifetimes. With the ownership of their stoic and hardy places of residence, they are also called by duty and responsibility, and sometimes by habit, to maintain the strength of their protective walls.
One of the best ways to promote the strength and integrity of a concrete house is to maintain the cleanliness of its environment. A house that’s thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom by a dedicated house owner can benefit from the absolute lack of insect infestations, cracking walls, insidious odours and pathogens that could cause sickness among the occupants. Keeping a house clean is as easy as collecting garbage such as food bits, cans, bottles, plastics, papers and other wastes and disposing of them according to the local segregation guidelines.
Homeowners who wish to keep their concrete homes clean may find that wastes tend to accumulate quickly, especially when there are multiple individuals residing in a house. The task of collecting a multitude of wastes from multiple individuals can be taxing for a caretaker. However, waste can be greatly reduced by practising the guideline of “reduce, reuse and recycle.”
The guideline of waste reduction has been a popular movement worldwide for many generations and has been effective in reducing waste globally. The provision of the guideline reduces and calls every homeowner and consumer to use fewer products that could turn into waste such as plastic packages, cans and other non-biodegradable materials. Reusing, on the other hand, urges every consumer to repurpose any reusable parts of a good. Plastic bottles are ideal examples, as they can be refilled and stored. Finally, recycling is the act of designating a separate disposal area for materials and objects that can be treated and converted into useful items. Tin cans from beverages and canned goods are examples of recyclable wastes.
Homeowners can greatly reduce the wastes they need to collect and dispose of by practising the “Reuse” guideline. Here are examples of items that can be reused.
Plastic Bottles
While many individuals may agree that plastic bottles are harmful to the environment, it is mostly true when they are improperly disposed of. Plastic bottles that are segregated according to their designated waste areas may be totally safe for the environment and may be repurposed by recycling companies. On the other hand, homeowners can start their waste reduction duties at home by repurposing plastic bottles themselves.
Plastic bottles may be used as containers for water and other types of beverages. Large bottles may also be used as crude plant pots. Homeowners merely need to fill them with healthy soil and a suitable plant. Since many plastic bottles already have colour in them, they can become colourful additions to one’s coloured concrete walls.
Plastic Bags
While plastic bottles can be ideal additions to one’s coloured concrete walls, homeowners can also reuse the plastic bags they receive from convenience stores or shopping malls. They can become containers for household items or used as makeshift gloves when disposing of garbage.
