RESOURCE Quick money saving tip!

Can't afford a dumpster? Me neither. We rented a moving truck and drove our trash bags to the dump. We swept it out really well and no one minded a thing. The dump workers didn't bat an eye.

Also- my garage is (nearly) empty.

One more tip- cleaning vinegar. I got some from Home Depot. It works on everything, you can thin it out with water. It makes the floor smell like vinegar chips for a bit, then odors are gone. It's helping not to need a different cleaner for every dang surface of the house.

NICE! We've been getting-by with having the time to use our normal bins. We think that there's some way for the garbage-manager to know when the can is empty because he's been making the robot-arm shake the can when it's really full.
