Rochester, New York has developed some very responsible ways to dispose your waste. Two web sites that give you a wealth of information are: www.MonroeCounty.gov and www.RochesterEnvironment.com . Even, if they don't handle the particular kind of waste you have... they can tell you what to do next.
Other specific options:
Goodwill: Electronic recycling (no TV's) (and will also except most everything else, however old toys can sometimes be tricky because of the lead products that China put in.)
Best Buy: TV's (pay $10 get a $10 gift card)
Home Depot: Fluorescent Blubs
Radio Shack: Re-chargeable Batteries
Auto Part Stores (most): Used Motor Oils, Car Batteries
Old (over the counter) Medicines: 1st Tues each month, 10am-1pm, no appointment needed: 245 Summit Point Dr., Henrietta, NY
I know... I know... all this is an extra step... might even be a hassel... but it sure makes you feel good when you get rid of it the right way. And... by the way... just another reason to hire us... because we will to it for you.
Happy Weekend!!! Theresa
There are sooooooo many reasons to have an organized home and life and business and and and... the list goes on. If you don't know where to start... here are a few tips to get you motivated and get it done:
1. Make an appointment with yourself. Choose a time of day when you are well rested & not hungry. Make sure to dress comfortably for the activity.
2. Ask a friend to help who knows you well. The kind of friend who will keep you focused.
3. Choose your project - make a plan. THEN WORK THE PLAN.
4. Bring the right tools. Plan what you need ahead of time. Jumping up and down to get the tools you need, wastes time and precious energy, and make you vulnerable to distractions.
5. Pick an area of the project that bothers you the most. Do it first. (Quick results motivate you to continue and come back another day.)
6. Set a timer. (Trick of the trade)
7. Empty the space!
- Combine like with like (box it, zip it, band it).
- Choose to keep only what you love and need.
- Give away or discard the rest immediately.
- Distribute what does not belong in that area.
- Clean as you go.
8. Make it fun. (Laugh, compete, sing, play music)
9. Quit BEFORE you get tired.
10. Track your progress and brag about it. Reward yourself.
I know it's hard sometimes to involve your kids... but organizing is a learned process... teach your children the joys of organizing and they will become adults that organize!!!
Best to all, Theresa
