Stop throwing away used brochures or pamphlets - repurpose them!
Remember those mailer marketing materials, company annual reports, and supermarket coupon pamphlets that we no longer need? Instead of tossing them into the refuse bin, why not repurpose them as wastepaper collection containers? It's both effortless and environmentally friendly, and it can even save us money by reducing the amount of trash we need to dispose of.
Here's what we need:
- Any unneeded paper at least the size of A4 or letter
- Any 1-litre ice-cream tub or equivalent
Simple 3-step process:
Step 1:
Position a single piece of A4 or letter-sized paper in landscape orientation.
Step 2:
Half fold either end to flush with the top of the paper. Do the same for the other end.
Step 3:
It now forms a funnel. Simply place it in the pre-loved ice-cream tub, and voila - your green trash bin is ready to collect any waste material
