The holiday season is one of the most incredible times of the year, as it is always lovely seeing everybody in the holiday spirit.
Spending quality time with friends and family is the best part about celebrating during the holiday season, and often, the best way to do that is by throwing Christmas or New Year’s parties and inviting everyone you know.
Although throwing such wondrous parties is about as exciting as it gets, and you and everyone else are sure to have the times of your lives, another element to hosting significant events like this that often gets forgotten is the cleanup.
Once your party ends, it will be time to pick up the dishes, take down the decor, clean the floors, and, most importantly, dispose of the garbage. Unfortunately, waste management after a big party can be daunting, especially if you neglect to prepare for this.
You want to avoid having several garbage bags and nowhere to store them before your scheduled garbage collection day. Keeping this much unsorted garbage in your home will mean dealing with undesirable smells that worsen as the week goes on, not to mention the possibility of germs and bacteria spreading throughout your home.
If you want to avoid dealing with the inconveniences that come with having too much garbage and nowhere to put it all, it is essential to keep waste disposal in mind when you are planning your party, as you can get rid of this waste with much fewer complications if you have a plan in place from the get-go.
There are several steps that you can take to ensure that you can properly dispose of any waste that gets generated during your holiday parties. The following are some of the best post-holiday party waste management practices:
It will make cleanup after your party a lot easier on you if you separate bins for your garbage ahead of time so that you can conveniently separate your garbage.
If you do not have multiple bins that are specifically meant for this, that is okay; you can use big old carton boxes for this purpose, putting dry and recyclable items in them, and then you can dispose of the boxes as well once the garbage has been collected.
If you need to store biodegradable items, like food waste, it is better to use old plastic containers. It would be ideal if these containers come with lids, so you could prevent most smells from travelling too far.
You should also line these containers with garbage bags to contain leaks, and it is best to place them in the kitchen so that they are easy to access when you start cleaning up.
After separating the items you intend to dispose of into appropriate storage containers, you should also sort through any recyclable things and determine whether there is anything that could be reused, donated, or taken to your area’s recycling plant.
If your neighbourhood has recycling collection services, you could leave these things in the necessary bins out front of your house, but you will likely need to separate them into at least plastics and paper items.
Not only will putting the time and effort into recycling these things allow you to do your part in helping the environment, but it could also save you some money in the long run.
Keep in mind that wrapping paper or holiday cards that contain plastic pieces, glitter, or photo paper could taint your recycling. It would be better to discard these items with your garbage rather than with your recycling.
Around the holidays, a lot of the waste that tends to pile up, such as wrapping paper, tissue paper, bows, and so on, is dry. As you collect these dry items, do not worry about stuffing them into a garbage bag, as they can go directly into your bin.
There is no need to waste garbage bags on items without risk of leaking or generating smells.
Since you will have more waste than usual following a holiday party, it is worth looking into commercial waste services that can help you manage the disposal of this waste.
Many of these companies can help you coordinate a plan for the disposal of your waste after your party so that you can ensure it is disposed of safely and efficiently.
Before deciding on a commercial waste company, it helps to check whether they have any restrictions on the kinds of materials they accept or do not accept so that you can decide whether their services will suit your needs.
Through this company, you can also gain access to dumpster rental options, which will provide you with a large bin to use temporarily to dispose of your after-party waste. Then, once everything has been disposed of and taken away, you can return the bin.
If you have a big party planned for this holiday season, then now is the time to start preparing for your after-party waste disposal, and looking into dumpster rental options should be part of that process.
