Have you ever thought about separating your bathroom trash in boxes like this?

The replacement of plastic bags by other, more sustainable means is already spreading. With reusable bags, bags made from old t-shirts, the use of supermarket carts, now the use of paper bags to replace small bags for storing household waste is increasing. Here on the website you can find a really cool option of a paper bag made from newspaper, ideal for lining the containers and storing your house's dry garbage, either from sweeps or even from the bathroom. See here, it's worth it.

In the case of domestic wet waste, the organic one, interesting solutions can be composting or crushing. When it comes to recyclables, the separation for forwarding to selective collection or collection points can take place directly in large plastic bags, where the ideal would be those already made from recycled plastic (there are products of this type available). Consult our Disposal Posts search engine to find out where to dispose of your unused or recyclable objects. For waste that will be disposed of in common garbage, the newspaper bag option seems very interesting, as it is more ecological as it reuses a material that will save inputs, largely oil and other chemicals, which make up the plastic, as well as its decomposition will occur much faster. Consult our household waste guide here, with many tips that can help you deal with household waste in a more sustainable way.

However, there are situations in which we do not need such a large garbage dump, such as for small amounts in specific everyday situations. For this we bring here the option of a compact box, which can hold small amounts of waste, occupying as little space as possible. It is a model also made from newspaper and which, due to its characteristics, can be used to deposit used objects such as makeup residue, dental floss, cotton swabs, cottons and other small objects used in personal hygiene or even in offices, for example .
