House Cleanout

2008-08-01T02:53:00.000-07:00

Do you have draws and closets full of clothes you don't wear? Rooms full of junk taking up space. Are you a bit of a hoarder? How much stuff do you have in your house that you don't really need or use? Now's the time to have a good clearout and here's how to do it.
It's probably taking up more than physical space, how does it make you feel emotionally - overwhelmed, frustrated, disorganised, even lethargic?
Step 1 - Get Ready.
Create a list. Go through each room in your home and make a list of all the areas, drawers, cupboards that need clearing. Sort this into small, medium and large. Pin it up where you can see it.
Step 2 - Get Set.
Get four boxes label them - Rubbish, Charity, Sell, Undecided.
Step 3 - Get Clearing...
Go through each room - take just 15-30 minutes and tackle the small areas first, then when you have time the medium and large areas.
Work on one area each day and tick them off your list. Either put things away where they belong or place them in one of the four boxes. Place the Undecided box in a cupboard, attic or basement and come back to it in six months. If you haven't needed anything in it in that time - throw it away.
Clothing - when did you last wear it, does it fit, do you absolutely love it? Anything you haven't worn for two years - put in a bag and take to your local charity shop. Only buy things that make you look good as you are now - not when you lose those few pounds.
Paperwork "handle it only once" or in reality twice. First when it comes through the door. Is it for action/junk or filing? Action -deal with it immediately or put it an 'action' folder/tray and deal with it in the next 2-3 days. Filing - tackle this on a weekly basis. Junk - straight into the bin.
Reduce the junk mail you receive - ALWAYS tick the box on any form to opt out. Sign up with the mailing preference service to opt out of unsolicited mail.
Magazines - how often do you read them all. Tear out and keep any articles that are of particular interest. Read them as soon as you can. Cancel subscriptions for those you no longer read or value.
Things you no longer use - gadgets, sports equipment, etc., unwanted gifts, impulse buys - things you bought but don't like or don't use. Either sell them, pass them on or give them away.
Decluttering questions to ask: Do you love it? Do you use it? Does it make you feel good? Learn to say no, so you don't clutter up your life with things that aren't important to you.
Get into the habit of setting aside a few minutes each day or a block of time each week to keep areas tidy and clutter free.
To avoid clutter accumulating - when you buy something think first - do you really need it? If you find it hard to let go, each time you buy something new, get rid of something so at least it's not increasing.
Notice how you feel after you've cleared out an area - whether large or small. You should feel a sense of achievement, satisfaction, relief and/or a burst of energy.
Step 4 - Reward Yourself.
Create small rewards for your effort as you go through the process, i.e. buy yourself a new item of clothing for clearing out,
See what you can do to create your own clutter-free existence and see what it brings in for you.
Why not join me for an Integrity Day to help get rid of your clutter.

Removing an Old Fridge

2008-08-01T02:51:00.001-07:00

There has been a change in the law as to how you can dispose of your Fridge/Freezer. All ozone-depleting substances (ODS), including CFC’s, must be removed from refrigeration equipment before it is scrapped or recycled. This includes the ODS in the cooling system of your appliance and the insulating foam inside the walls and door. In plain English, Fridges contain hazardous gas, and therefore need special disposal. Some local councils can really mess people around with collection times, force them to wait up to 3 months, or even (believe it or not) ask an OAP to"place your old fridge outside your front door"!

As a householder, you have a few options when it comes to disposing of your old fridge:

* Ask Your Retailer to take away it away.

* Some retailers have decided not to continue to collect your old fridge or freezer when your new one is delivered, due to the cost. If the retailer that you purchased your new appliance from is unable to take away your old appliance you can take it to a Civic Amenity Site.

* Rubbish Clearance companies can be extremely useful to anyone who has ever tried to dispose of household junk. Unlike small unknown man and van outfits, you know the hazardous waste is going to end up being disposed properly!

To properly dispose of an old fridge, the gas in the fridge needs to be"collected" to prevent it from escaping into the atmosphere. This may cost a little more but it's not only environmentally friendly, it's also important for your safety!

Moving House Tips

2008-08-01T02:48:00.000-07:00

How to move house... ...without adding years to your life!

Everybody moves house at some stage, and everyone knows the stresses and strains that are inherent with the logistical nightmare that is moving house. Here are some tips that can help.

Planning - Totally obvious but plan as far in advance as you can. Planning too much is much less of a problem than planning too little!

Dates - Try to sort out dates first. This will dictate most of the planning – whether to store your belongings, whether to get accommodation before moving in or whether you can move straight in.

Packing - Try packing little by little rather than in one mad dash – it can make the whole thing seem less daunting if you chip away until most of the works been done.

Storage - Try to avoid expensive storage options if you can. If something goes wrong and you need to store things for much longer than intended it can be COSTLY. Never Store absolute junk! Some companies can help you throw away or even recycle anything that you don’t need or use. Any old furniture or bulky items that may not have a home in your new place can be blissfully “cleared” and never bother you again!

Exchanging contracts - Be sure not to underestimate the delays and delay tactics you might encounter. It’s only done and dusted when the fat lady sings!

Moving in - Once again, you may have the keys to your new home, but there is still much to do! The excitement may push you through the final phase without too much stress, but don’t forget there are still phone lines, Broadband, names on Bills to change and much, much more!

When You Should Hire A Junk Removal Company

Ever seen someone tackling those home improvement endeavors and there is old appliances and furniture sitting out in the front yard? Well, that is where a garbage can is not going to cut it and something bigger is. Many garbage companies refuse to take large loads. If you have ever put out a large amount of garbage for the garbage man to pick up on garbage day to find that he only took half of it, then your load was too large. But if you call a junk removal company, they will be happy take away anything you need to get rid of at a reasonable price.

If you have old appliances, old concrete, furniture that you want to get rid of, or old junk that is accumulating and taking up space, a junk removal company will take it to the dump for you. They will even get rid of that old junk pile in the back yard that is an eyesore. Once the grass grows back, you'll be able to enjoy the beauty of your yard again. However, to find a good service there are questions that you need to ask.

Hazardous Waste Tips

2008-08-01T02:26:00.000-07:00

It is no secret that the quantity of household waste produced is increasing year after year at an alarming rate and governments are under pressure to expand existing landfills or build new ones to accommodate the waste that is being produced.

What is Hazardous Household Waste?

Household waste is leftover from household goods or products. Hazardous household waste are household products which contain chemicals that has the potential to affect plants, the health of humans and animals and are detrimental to the environment when handled improperly

Improper management of household waste has the potential to be very detrimental to the environment, people and animals. What many of us may not realise is that many of those common household products contain corrosive, toxic or flammable chemicals, that can be hazardous to the environment if not handled or managed properly.

Hazardous household waste should not be disposed of in the same way as regular waste. For example, a gasoline can buried in the ground can affect rivers and find its way into drinking water. The hydrocarbons in motor oils or pesticides have the potential to bio-accumulate in fresh water fishes and can find its way in the food chain. Burning of hazardous waste leads to the release of toxic chemicals and fumes in the air. Once released into the environment these chemicals are dispersed over large areas, thereby affecting the health of persons over a wider area.

Some of these chemicals remain in the systems of plants and animals for a long time and may enter the food chain when the affected plants and animals are consumed.

Bioaccumulation of hazardous compounds in the systems of plants, animals and humans has the potential to affect their reproductive lives, growth, impair the function of various organs such as the liver and kidneys, affect the functioning of the central nervous systems and immune systems of human and animals and some have been listed as known carcinogens.

How Can You Tell a Product is Hazardous?

Read the labels of products. In most countries labels are required for all products. These should provide information on the constituents of the products, including symbols and words to indicate the hazard to animals, humans and the environment if mishandled.

How To Tell If Products Are Hazardous?

Always read the label of products in your household and make it a habit of reading the labels of product before making the decision to purchase them.

What Can You Do to Manage Hazardous Waste?

Purchase Environmentally Friendly Products - Experts agree that, the best way to control waste is to not produce it in the first place. You can start by avoiding the purchase of products that contain chemicals that are harmful to humans, animals and the environment. Purchase those products that are biodegradable or friendly to the environment.

Safe Product Storage - Ensure that hazardous products are stored in a safe place, that their containers are not damaged, do not have any leaks to reduce the risk of contaminating water sources, land, humans, animals, plants and the environment. Ensure that corrosive products like acids are stored in separate areas from other hazardous products.

Check products frequently to ensure that there are no leaks and broken lids or bulging sides.

Always store products in their original containers to avoid unintentional usage.

Ensure that these products are stored in a place where children and animal have no access to them.

Disposal of Products - Disposal of products should always be the last resort. Why? Because there are no safe ways of disposing hazardous waste. You can avoid the dilemma of hazardous waste disposal by either selecting biodegradable products, recycling the product, giving the excess products to friends, neighbours or family or purchasing smaller volumes of the product.

If however disposal is inevitable then you should dispose of the waste in the manner prescribed on the label.

Although there are laws to regulate the handling and use of large quantities of hazardous waste the existence of laws to regulate the typical small quantities generated at the household is non existent. For this reason, the responsibility for the management of hazardous waste falls squarely on the shoulders of the hazardous waste generators.

Protection of the environment can only happen when you play a role in finding creative ways to re-use, recycle or reduce waste. This is essential if we are to safeguard the environment and health of future generations. Remember that Waste Management is Your Business, My Business, Our Business.

Office Cleanout Tips

2008-08-01T02:24:00.001-07:00

Time is money, so when you are moving office the trick is to make sure that you stay operational for as long as possible. In order to do this it is important to make sure that you plan and organise your office move well in advance and take all necessary steps to ensure that all potential stumbling blocks are overcome quickly and without fuss.

Here are some key steps to help you make sure that your office move goes smoothly;

PLAN

The first step in any office move is to plan well in advance, 5+ months is usually a good sort of timescale for a medium sized office. This will give you time to find your new location. Once your location is decided you will have to plan the layout in order to get the most out of the space. This time can also be useful for communicating with the landlord about potential operational issues. It is important to get tenancy issues resolved before any other major steps are made. By planning in advance you can also take time to put together an accurate budget and costing for the move. This will help to make sure that the costs do not spiral out of control, though, having said this, it is important to keep in mind that there will undoubtedly be unexpected issues and expenses to contend with. It's always worth including a margin for these.

Moving offices is not only an opportunity for upgrading your premises, you can also take this opportunity to upgrade your IT equipment or replace ageing office furniture. For example, if you still use CRT monitors it may be worthwhile replacing these with TFT screens, you will not only reap the benefits of better equipment, but you can also save space and weight when you move. The benefits of getting new furniture is also two fold, you get shiny new furniture and you can also get furniture that better suits the layout of your new office.

It is not just hardware and furniture that you have to move, you must also make sure that you sort out insurance for your new building and make arrangements for operational necessities such as security, maintenance, waste and cleaning contractors etc, though larger office buildings may come with these services already.

COMMUNICATE

Once the planning for your move is completed it is absolutely crucial that you communicate the agenda to everyone and that they understand what is going on and what is required of them. If you are planning on updating the IT systems in the move, your IT staff will need to be informed so that they make the arrangements for the new hardware/software etc. Bear in mind that the IT staff will also be required to be involved in the early planning of the move anyway as the installation of IT networks at your new location will be one of the most time consuming aspects of the move itself.

You will need work out exactly how much furniture, equipment and filing will need to be relocated so that you can arrange an office removal company. Compiling an accurate inventory of exactly what is being moved and what is being disposed will help the removal company provide the right service.

Tell your general staff what is going on and when it is happening. It is crucial that your staff know when you are moving and how it is going to affect them. Sometimes it may be a simple case of letting them know that as of X day they will simply turn up at a different location, however, it may be prudent for staff to spend a day or so clearing out redundant files and the like.

Clients/Customers are essential to any business so it is important that you broadcast details such as time, location and possible downtime to any clients or customers. Advertise your new address up to a month in advance and make sure that details on your Website are up to date.

PREPARE

Once you have planned and communicated the details of the move you will be able to start preparing. This entails having your IT staff spend time at the new premises preparing IT systems and having staff ready their workstations by removing unnecessary files, though you must make sure that there is still sufficient staff to deal with day to day business. You must make sure that staff know exactly where the new premises is and how to get there. About a week before your move you should be providing staff with new keys or cards.

If you are introducing new hardware/software or operating procedures as part of the move, it is imperative that you provide the relevant training courses at least a month or so before the move as well as some refresher courses afterwards.

Make sure that there are adequate waste removal facilities at your old location to deal with equipment, furniture and files that you are not taking. It may be worthwhile getting in touch with a local waste contractor to deal with this. Take extra care to make sure that IT equipment is disposed of properly, under new regulations all waste electrical equipment must be dealt with by registered contractors, failure to do so could cost your company money.

MOVE

The final step is to actually move. Your inventory and space plan should combine neatly to show what goes where. Make sure that the new building in signed properly as people will be unfamiliar with it. When leaving your old premises you should make sure that it is left in a tidy state and that nothing has been left behind. It is also prudent to leave behind a forwarding address for any mail still being delivered to the old address.

Inevitably there will be something that goes wrong on the day of the move, this is why you should always incorporate some leeway in your timescales, this includes time for delivery of your equipment (new or old), downtime, installation etc.

You will find that once everyone is moved in there will be a few teething problems, having a few extra staff on hand will be helpful in order to keep downtime to a minimum.

Rubbish Removal & Recycling

2008-08-01T02:18:00.000-07:00

You can call it by many terms — junk, garbage, trash, rubbish, waste, scrap — it all relates to degradable materials produced by human activity. Well, don’t be one of the many who just dumps their rubbish in one garbage dumpster.

Proper or improper (oh, god forbid!) waste management undertakes effect on health and sanitation, and the aesthetics of the environment or what a scientific could call as the ecosystem.

Waste Management, primarily is a rolling off cycle of waste materials: it starts with the collection of the junks, then transported for processing, thereby, a series of methods are implemented to recycle or dispose the waste materials, which is classified as liquid or gaseous substances and solid wastes.

As a note: classification of waste materials has different methods for disposal. But since this article is intended for homeowners’ usage, the scope is limited only to solid waste removal.

In order to practice proper waste removal at your home, the skill you should master is organization and management.

There are so many ways on how you can manage wastes inside your house, all you need is a basid knowledge of the 3Rs: reduce, reuse, and recycle.

REDUCE the amount and toxicity of trash you discard.

In reducing junks in your house, the concept of "source reduction" is best exemplified.

In order to "source reduce," it means that you consume and throw away less. To do this you can start practice on purchasing durable, long lasting goods; look for products that are free of toxics like lead; and don't buy things impulsively when you don't need it. Too much junk in your house only increases clutter.

Composting is also included in this category since it reduces the biodegradable wastes in your home. Aside from reducing rubbish in your home it also keeps organic wastes out of landfills that pollutes the air and detriments anybody’s health; and provides nutrients to the soil and plants.

REUSE or repair what is broken, or give it to someone who can fix it.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. It is true in every sense!

Reusing items or repairing items for use, donating them to community groups or charity or selling them also reduces junk. The advantage of reusing products is even better than recycling because the item does not need to be reprocessed before it can be used again.

There are many ways you can reuse items inside your house. For example: if you have consumed a bottle of soda, you can refill it with water and store it in the fridge; reuse appliance boxes by stashing old clothes and storing it in the basement.

In reusing items, all you need is a sense of creativity to resource old items and turn it to good use.

RECYCLE as much as possible, which includes buying products with recycled content.

Recycling is the reprocessing of valuable resources and turning it into new products. Recycling reduces the consumption of raw materials, and hence greenhouse gas emissions. This concept generates environmental, financial, and social benefits.

Glasses, metals, plastics, and papers are collected, separated and then sent to facilities that can process them into new materials or products. An example of this are the recycled papers used as a shopping bag.
