In many homes, the trash can is one of the last things that anyone thinks about cleaning. As it holds trash, it should come as no surprise though that your trash can is one of the places where germs are most likely to accumulate in your home. You should clean your trash cans inside of your home at least once a month, and you should clean your large trash can that you take out to the curb on at least a seasonal basis.
These days, there are so many new inventions and weird components to machines and appliances. It's hard to know what's safe to keep, recycle, or throw away when something is all used up. For example, I didn't know until a few months ago what to do with old ink cartridges, used computers, or antique printers. I finally called my local recycling center and asked for a list of things that can be recycled. They even told me about this weeklong event they hold every year where they set up recycling pickup stations for large items so you don't have to drive all the way to the center.
