We are raising our standard for handling the 4.5 pounds of waste we each create daily. When we talk about clean trash, we are speaking of a new principle. Our principle is rooted in a question. How can we improve our recycling and disposal habits in order to create a positive impact on ourselves, our community, our environment, and those who collect and handle the 262.4 million tons of solid waste created yearly?

Our mission starts by defining our goals.  What is clean trash?

Definition: Clean Trash

(noun)  

  1. 100% properly sorted waste and recyclables.
  2. Sanitized collection areas and bins.
  3. All materials are secure within containers.

Objective 1: Sort

If you want to live up to the clean trash standard, you’ll start before the bin.  Sorting is about putting your big kid pants on and making sure everything, and we mean everything, makes it into the right bin in the right condition.  Why is this so important?  Poorly sorted recycling is too expensive to be recovered and reused, so it’s likely to just end up in a landfill.  Plus, there are plenty of dangerous items that could harm workers if throw away.

Note the best way to know how to sort in your area is to check with your local collection company.

Objective 2: Sanitize

When we say sanitize, we mean clean!  There isn’t any litter on the ground.  There isn’t any garbage juice caked onto the inside of your carts.  Your bins don’t smell and attract every pest, bug, and trash-raider in a 5-mile radius.  Instead, everything is in a can.  All the lids are shut.  Your bins should sparkle in the sun.  Overall, your trash storage area looks like you care—well, because you do care.

Objective 3: Secure

The final step towards clean trash is turning trash cans into trash containers.  Secure means guaranteeing all waste placed in a bin makes it to the intended final destination.  To start, your garbage can’s lid only secures trash if it’s shut.  Our patented solution, the Strong Strap™, can crank any lid shut in order to keep trash secure.   It’s one way to upgrade your waste containers for cleaner yards, neighborhoods, alleyways, streets, cities, and beyond.

Our objectives are clear and our mission is underway.  Keep up with Blazer Brand by following us on Facebook or Instagram.  We also encourage you to explore our other posts and the Strong Strap™.  Until next time… Stay strong and stay clean.
