Recycle one item you normally wouldn't

Cardboard toilet paper roll? Batteries? Onion skins? Bike? Couch? Envelopes? Ink cartridges? Aluminum foil? Nail clippings?


If it's organic, it likely can go in the compost. If it's electronic and you live in a city, there are probably special facilities for it. If it's a larger item like an appliance or piece of furniture (still working), charity shops may be happy to take it off your hands. You get the idea.


Effort involved: very little to slightly more than very little. You may need to do a bit of research to find out where your unwanted things can go, but it will be well worth it to have a little bit of extra space.
