The Clean Bin Project Blog. These were the rules that we officially lived under from July 1, 2008 to July 1, 2009. These days we still abide by many of them, but we’ve scaled back a bit. We had many discussions and debates about the rules, but here’s what we eventually hashed out. The point is to have less stuff coming into our household and less stuff going out to the landfill. No buying stuff. (We cannot buy any material goods.). We will compost all food scraps. Hygiene refers to the basics only (ie...

The Clean Bin Project Blog. A Story of Reuse. Unpackaged at Last →. May 14, 2013 · 11:06 pm. Living zero waste isn’t about deprivation; it’s about living with less and figuring out better solutions that just happen to not involve disposable packaging. And it’s about time we talked about beer. Of course the metal caps and cardboard boxes are recyclable, but if you’re looking for a truly zero waste option beyond brewing your own, your best beer bet is to buy from a local microbrewery. Leigh, who sports the...

The Clean Bin Project Blog. Newer posts →. September 12, 2012 · 4:32 pm. It’s About Time. I knew it would happen, but it has been a long time coming! The City of Vancouver finally has real food scraps pick up. Back in 2010, the City started picking up fruit and veggie trimmings. It was a great step, but something that was a) already easily served by our backyard compost bin and b) not made available to the apartment dwellers who don’t have backyards to compost in in the first place. Yes, a fashion show&#...

The Clean Bin Project Blog. February 23, 2013 · 9:05 am. I am the first to admit that my homemade toothpaste is nothing spectacular. I mean, it cleans and all, but it doesn’t foam or give you that minty fresh feeling (which, in my opinion, is part of the point of using toothpaste.) I actually taught a DIY household products class the other night at the rec centre, and I was a bit embarrassed to even include the toothpaste. Anyone), but then I found a recipe. 2 drops peppermint oil. And started thinking a...

The Clean Bin Project Blog. August 27, 2013 · 4:14 am. I remember back when I heard about the first package-free store. Opened in London in 2010 and was a internet sensation the moment it opened (ok maybe only among us zero-wasters). The only downside – it was all the way over in England. Well since then, lots of things have changed. The bulk departments of our local stores are growing, the Soap Dispensary. When Grant and I started planning a trip to the UK, I knew Unpackaged. 20 responses to “. Here in ...
