This week, I discarded or recycled lots of empty margarine tubs and their lids, plus many other jar lids. I use the jars for food storage and freezing, but I had many more containers than will fit in my freezer at one time, and many more lids than I had containers.
I threw away a lot of old droppers from cat medications.
I threw away four boxes of superannuated instant coffee packets, also from my flopped MLM business. I also have pre-packaged ground coffee, equally ancient, in individual packs to put in a coffee maker. Those I am going to open and dig the coffee grounds into my garden, and give the filters to my parents—they have a four-cup brewer and I think these will work. If not they can go in the yard waste bin.
I loaded a bunch of items into the back of my car for donation to a thrift store or Goodwill, but I won't count them until they're out of the car.
I think there have been several other things but I didn't write them down as I went so I don't recall what they were.
I cleared up a problem with garbage collection. Last summer, my recycling bin disappeared out of the alley, so I requested a replacement. Two replacement containers were brought. I started using one for recycling, leaving the other at the curb. Eventually, person or persons unknown filled the extra recycling bin with garbage. I took the garbage from the recycle bin and put it in my trash can
(I didn't want to get hit with the extra charge for putting non-recyclables in the recycle bin, or the other charge for having more trash than the size can you are paying for.) Then I put recyclables in the bin and left it in the alley, but made the mistake of not putting it away immediately after pickup and it ended up full of garbage again! Once was enough on moving someone else's trash from can to can, so I called the customer service line and they told me how to get rid of the extra garbage and the extra can, and it's not going to cost me any extra. So this week, in addition to physical space wasters, I "got rid of" an irritating problem.
