Our home is made up of happy people,
noise and rubbish. When it comes to happy people, there is no doubt
about us, the inhabitants. Noise, yup, it is also us. As for the
rubbish, well, we are just sentimental people that we refuse to throw
some things. Don't get me wrong but we are not like the families in a "Clean House" show. We are not exactly hoarders but we love buying things in
bulk. We do throw or give out some stuff if we have time. We even
visit the junk shop at a regular basis(that is if we fill our
recyclable bins with stuff). It has been two years when we decided to
segregate biodegradable and non-biodegradable garbage. Decaying matter
becomes my Mom's fertilizer for her plants but most of the time, it
just goes to the garbage truck. The effort was worth it because we
know that we are doing something for the environment.
Lately, besides doing usual business, I
been retrieving my pile of rubbish way back in college. Reviewers,
old documents, card boards, art materials and plastics as such are
now out. I shredded the important but old papers like bills, bank
notes, photocopy of passport etc. Useless paper like crumpled, thin
papers that jams the printers, receipts have also made it to the
shredder. Printed bond papers without back prints were stacked for home, office and school use
while some are saved for donation. White papers have a high
commercial value most specially the shredded ones. I separated a bin
for colored papers too because they have a different price.
