The blogging team came across this really insightful blog article by Best Price Rubbish Removal on what trash can a rubbish removal company remove and they have agreed we could republish it here for our readers.

We hope you find it as insightful as must as we did!

Regardless of the type of household junk you have, we can remove just about anything. Here are some common types of rubbish we remove from houses in Melbourne:

• White goods such as dryers, fridges, freezers, washing machines
• Bedding and mattresses
• Furniture
• Appliances, electronics, computers and equipment
• Scrap metal such as car parts
• Carpet
• House renovation waste
• Green waste

Rubbish disposal is a necessary process that helps maintain clean and hygienic environments. However, there are several things that can derail a successful rubbish disposal process, leading to problems like overflowing bins, blocked drains, and health hazards. Here are some of the most common things that can derail the success of this process

Overloading Bins

Overloading bins is one of the biggest problems in the trash disposal process. When bins are overfilled, rubbish can spill out, attracting pests and causing unpleasant odors. To avoid overloading, we need to regularly dispose of rubbish in a timely manner and make sure that bins are not too full before they are collected.

Improper Disposal of Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste, such as chemicals, batteries, and electronic waste, can be dangerous if not disposed of properly. These items need to be disposed of separately from regular rubbish to ensure that they don’t pose a risk to human health or the environment.

Littering

Littering is another common problem that can disrupt the trash removal process. When people litter, rubbish accumulates in public spaces, causing blockages and unpleasant odors. It’s important to educate people about the importance of keeping public spaces clean and encourage them to dispose of their rubbish properly.

Unauthorized Dumping

Unauthorized dumping is another problem that can interfere with disposal success. This occurs when people illegally dump rubbish in public spaces, such as parks, sidewalks, or bodies of water. This not only creates unsightly messes but also can harm wildlife and the environment.

Lack of Recycling

Recycling is a crucial part of the rubbish disposal process as it helps to reduce waste and preserve natural resources. However, if people are not properly educated about the benefits of recycling, they may not take part in this important process. We need to encourage people to recycle and provide clear information about what can and cannot be recycled.

Inadequate Collection Schedules

Inadequate collection schedules can also derail the entire procedure. If collections are not frequent enough, rubbish can accumulate, leading to blockages and unpleasant odors. Because of that, having a regular collection schedule in place matters. We also need to make sure that rubbish is collected frequently enough to avoid these problems.

Poorly Maintained Rubbish Collection Vehicles

Poorly maintained rubbish collection vehicles can pose a problem not only for the collectors but also for the homeowners. If vehicles are not properly maintained, they may break down, causing delays in collections and leading to overflowing bins. This is why companies have to regularly maintain rubbish collection vehicles to ensure that they are in good working order.

Final Thoughts

The rubbish disposal process is an important part of maintaining clean and hygienic environments. As evident above, so many circumstances can derail the process and leave us with more trash to deal with than necessary. To ensure success in this feat, it’s important to address these issues and take steps to prevent them from happening. If you need further help from a professional rubbish removal company, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Most people in Australia know you can’t recycle a plastic shopping bag but what about a take away coffee lid or a bottle top.  Ask most people and they will say they support a cleaner environment and most people say they will do whatever they can to manage waste to keep the world and waterways as clean as possible.  

Australians buy 3.5 million tonnes of plastic each year.  Only about 11% of it can actually be recycled.  Much of it used to get sent to China for recycling, until the Chinese Government became stricter on what recycling they would accept.  China has imposed some impossibly hard guidelines for allowing other countries waste into their country.  The global market for recycling changed dramatically with these changes and countries around the world are rethinking what they do with recycling their rubbish.  China’s war on waste has created a major upheaval around the world and countries are scrambling to come up with creative solutions to waste processing and recycling. 

In Australia people continued to put their rubbish in their recycling bins, rubbish removal companies continued to show up day after day to pick up rubbish and recycling was still delivered to rubbish and recycling management plants around Australia.  But Australia was left with a problem the size of a giant pile of rubbish.  The great news is things are beginning to turn around. There is a new industry growing.  We are taking our own waste and recycling it ourselves.  

It’s been six years since China put a stop on allowing other countries rubbish into theirs. Here is a look at what Australia has done since then and if that shock to the waste processing system has actually helped us get our act together. First, let’s admit we have a problem and it’s not just in Australia.  It’s a global problem. One of the biggest rubbish tips in the world is located in China.  It was opened in 1994 and was meant to continue to operate until 2044 but it reached capacity 24 years earlier than predicted.  One of the worlds largest rubbish tips is the size of 100 football fields and is 150 metres deep. By 2030 the World Economic Forum estimates China will create three times the household waste of the United States. China is generating so much waste themselves it’s no wonder they didn’t want anyone else’s. 

Sending our waste to China was a convenient way to deal with the issue. It was out of sight and out of mind, as the saying goes. By the time the China ban kicked in we were using 3.4 million tonnes of plastics in Australia. Just 9.4 of that was recycled of that we still had more than half of it sent offshore. The problem was it wasn’t really our recycling it was our rubbish.  The stuff we were sending was contaminated. Unwashed food containers, mixed materials.  Without China we tried to send our waste elsewhere.  Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam, but that didn’t last long either.  Not only did these countries stop taking our recycling, but they sent it back. A problem we had pushed offshore was all of a sudden back on our doorstep.  Australia had been caught with no plan and an industry that is not coping. 

In Australia, plastic became the must have material in the 1950’s.  During the 1960’s plastic production increased by over 400%. By 1979 we were making more plastic than steel.  In the 1980’s came the catch phrase ‘Do The Right Thing – Chuck It In The Bin’ and ads with this have been telling Australians to be mindful of our rubbish and waste ever since. Nevertheless, we have been generating more and more waste including a lot more plastic. In the 1980s we used more than 70 million tonnes of plastic, sadly that was nothing compared to the years that followed.  Recycling has helped us deal with some of that plastic with Australians now recycling 31.7 mega tonnes of plastic, but we are still sending a lot of waste to land fill. The bottom line is that Australians are still creating a lot of waste. 

So how far has Australia come since China announced it would no longer take our waste? In 2019, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the Government would be providing one billion dollars to help solve the problem of our waste.  “We need to look at how we create waste, recycle waste and how we can turn our waste into products we can reuse” Prime Minster Morrison stated. “It’s our waste, it’s our responsibility, we have to deal with it”. 

Since then, recycling plants around Australia have become central in dealing with our waste and the Australian national plastics plan was born.  The Australian Government has pledged that 100% of Australian packaging will be recyclable or compostable or reusable by 2025.  Australia has never seen such a commitment to managing waste like this before. 

The plan includes phasing out single use plastics.  South Australia has led the way phasing out those products early in 2021.  Single use plastics are things like knives and forks, balloons, straws and plastic bags. Plastic plates and cotton buds are next.  The stickers on fruit will also be going.  Because the small sticker on fruit can’t be composted.  

There is a lot to sort out and sorting out begins at the point of sale.  In Australia, there are several types of recycling labels, and it is confusing for most people.  Some labels mean the entire package can be recycled but for a lot of the packages our food and drinks come in it means only part of the package can be recycled and that’s where the confusion starts for most of us and it is why we throw things into the rubbish bin instead of trying to figure out what bits of the package can be recycled. Even worse, manufactures in Australia have been able to put a recycle logo on their plastic even if the plastic can’t be recycled! 

Across the country we have such a diversity of waste management labels and systems that there is likely to be things that can’t be recycled.  If you can figure out what the labels mean, figuring out what bin to put it in is the next hurtle.  Depending on where you are in Australia, there are different bins for different things.  Most have red for general landfill and yellow for recycling.  But there are also green for organics being introduced in New South Wales and blue for paper. Victoria is adding a purple bin for glass. 

It can all get very confusing and as part of the one billion dollars the Australian Government has allocated to aid recycling, a new app has been created where you can take a picture of your piece of rubbish, so you know where what recycling bin it goes in.  In Australia, sorting out the real recycling from the rubbish at the waste management plants has been one of the biggest hurdles to overcome also. Sorting has been the biggest hurdle to overcome. Sorting improves the recycling process but there are lots of different types of plastics that need to be sorted and separated to make the recycling process viable.  Mixed plastic passes through sorting machines and then reprocessed.  Aluminium and paper products are also sorted. 

Once the plastic is processed and the plastic cleaned, it is chipped and broken down into pellets so it can be reused.  Large corporations are helping to make the change to recycling and reusing our waste in Australia. Kellogg’s (the maker of Pringles) are trialling a new chip tube. Tip Top have phased out the plastic clips on bread bags, they are being replaced by 100% recycled clips.  Coca-Cola have committed to purchase 13 thousand tonnes of recycled plastic resins from Australia.  It’s significant because it’s the first-time drink bottles will be made with 100% recycled marital.  This is a really important step because the one thing we have never had in Australia is a commitment to use recycled materials once it comes out the other end of waste management plant. 

Using the plastic that recycling creates, isn’t compulsory in Australia yet.  Countries like France are putting taxes on virgin materials.  If a company chooses to use material that hasn’t been recycled, they are taxed as a real incentive to change their ways.

The good news in Australia is there has been a massive shift since 2018 in addressing recycling and waste management has become an important issue.

Skip bins are great for all of your waste removal needs.  Perfect for spring cleaning the house through to removing unwanted items from major renovation.  The benefits of hiring a skip bin from a specialist skip bin company is that it is a quick and efficient method to remove rubbish as well as being cost effective.  

Skip bin companies are aware of the Australian waste management laws and comply with all of them so you aren’t in personal danger or risking receiving a fine.  Skip bin removalists are environmentally friendly because they recycle as much of your waste as possible. They have different sizes to suit all jobs so they are cost effective, save time & help ensure your safety.  

The larger bins have a have a walk in access for a wheelbarrow. You can dispose of heavy mix industrial waste through to concrete tiles, bricks, and garden and green waste through to household rubbish in them.  Do not overload your bins above the line.  Firstly for health and safety reasons, because things could tip out when being driven away but also it’s hard to lift a heavy skip onto the truck.  It’s important to be honest with the skip bin operator about what you plan on putting in the skip bin, and the size that you need, because they will then deliver the best bin suited for your needs.

Bin Delivery

Bin placement is important.  The bin will get placed in a three metre wide driveway on firm ground.  The bin gets placed behind the truck.  If you are placing it out on the street or a nature strip make sure there is room for the truck to back back and place the bin on.  You may need a council permit if it in on a nature strip.  It is best to talk to your skip bin provider about the permit. 

Where Does The Rubbish Go?

Most major skip bin operators have all the bins once collected go to a sorting or transfer station as it is also called. The transfer station takes the rubbish and sorts it and diverts as much as possible from going to the landfill. The rubbish gets sorted into various piles of things that can be recycled like concrete bricks, timber and even soil can be recycled.  There is a financial incentive for the skip bin operator to recycle as much as possible, but that is also a moral incentive to recycle as much as possible that everyone is embracing more as each year passes. 

Prohibited Items

Prohibited materials to be disposed in skip bins include asbestos and liquids.  There is an extra charge for these as well as tyers, mattresses and gas bottles. Gas bottles can explode and skip bin removalists don’t want to see anybody getting injured from an exploding gas bottle.   

Skip Bins Help Ensure safety 

A skip bin company focuses on safety and reliability.  We are a responsible company who like to look after the environment and do as much as possible in minimise landfill and recycle wherever possible. Their business take great care in providing the best service possible.  They understand that the removal of rubbish from your home or business can be a stressful time.  We do everything we can to help minimise your stress and aid the safety of everyone during the rubbish and builders debris removal process.  

The blogging team have had a great experience with the Skip Bin Co. They are a national skip bin company, professional, reliable and always on time.  Being on time every time may not seem important, but it means your bin will be dropped off and picked up at the times you request and when this doesn’t occur it can be extremely stressful!

The blogging team came across this insightful article on the Integrity Property Investment website and we have gained their approval to publish it here so our readers can enjoy and learn from it too!

The worst thing you can do is start out convincing yourself that you cannot succeed. What I’ve learned over the years that has served me well is that we are all allocated the same resources: a human body with its brain and its brawn, and 168 hours of time per week. How we use these resources is the difference between those who are successful and those who are not.

Success has nothing to do with the circumstances you were born into, nothing to do with race, religion and cultural values. It has everything to do with the conscious decisions you make on how you spend your time and the actions you choose to take. Psychology and mindset are critical in this – you must believe in yourself and that you are capable of achieving success. It really is that simple.

If another human being has done it, you can do it too!

Close the gap between their knowledge and yours by finding out how they achieved success and what knowledge they have, then educate yourself and take action – do the same things they did to get to that level of success. It has never been easier to educate yourself than now with access to the internet and all the online resources it provides.

You simply need to stop making excuses and copping out. Put down the gossip magazines, stop playing computer games and turn off the mindless TV shows and start investing in yourself and your own education by searching online for videos, books and courses. Start taking action! Do something now so that you can have the life you truly dream about for yourself and your family, whether that’s the family you have now or the family you plan on having in the future.

Team members have had several readers ask about mould in homes, its potential dangers and how to get rid of it. On consulting a specialist, here are some insights for our readers.

A few brief facts on mould…

Nothing is more natural than mould.  Mould is a fungus and there are thousands of different moulds on the planet. Like all living things, mould needs moisture to grow and survive.  Outside in nature moulds job is to digest and breakdown natural vegetation.  As a rule of thumb, mould outside of the home is good, mould inside the home is bad.  

How does mould from the outside get inside your house?  

Mould releases thousands and thousands of microscopic spores that easily float through the air and into a home through open windows and doors. It also enters the home or apartment by people and pets who track these spores inside.  Tiny mould spores are impossible to keep out of your home. What really determines if mould will grow in your home is one key ingredient, and that’s moisture.  

Mould spores, a food source, plus moisture, equals a lot of mould growing in your home. Mould finding their way indoors likes to eat paper & wood products. Some even the glue that holds paper and glue together!  Mould also likes to eat building and finished materials.  Many of our possessions can serve as mould food if moisture is added to even furniture, clothing and toys.  Mould can grow on just about anything if it stays wet or damp. 

One of the most common problems affecting indoor air quality is mould.  So many people have mould in their house, and everyone wants to keep themselves and their family members safe from it.  Mould is ubiquitous, meaning that it’s everywhere and we are constantly breathing it in. However, when you have a moisture event like a flood, heavy rain or a leak in your home, they are drawn to it because that’s what they feed off of. 

When mould grows inside your home, it’s unsightly, as it smells and if left untreated it can do sever damage to your property and can have a big impact on the resale value of your home. 

Persistent exposure to mould in the home can lead to irritated eyes, ongoing nasal congestion and sinuses initially. Ongoing mould can lead to more serious symptoms such as asthma and upper respiratory infections.

Mould affects people differently!

One person in the home may not be effected by the mould that has slowly travelled up the wall, whereas another person in the home could be severely affect.  The best approach to mould is to treat is as if it could harm the entire family, because you don’t want a situation where someone could get sick months later. 

Mould Prevention

The first rule of mould prevention is to keep the home or apartment dry.  If there’s no moisture, then there’s no way for mould spores to grow.

There are five general ways for moisture to accumulate inside a house or apartment: 

1/ Rain can invade your home through leaks. Roofs leak, window leaks, door leaks.  

2/ A wet crawlspace under a home can add a whole lot of moisture to your home as damp air rises through cracks around plumbing and wiring in the walls.  

3/ Plumbing leaks inside the home are another unwanted water source.  

4/ Be sure to check for leaks or condensation coming from drainpipes, washing machine supply hoses.  

5/ A significant source of moisture comes from within the home itself.  From people and their everyday activities.  Every time we exhale we are adding water vapour to the air.  So can taking a shower, running the dishwashing on or boiling water on the stove.  

The best way to prevent water from entering your home is to do regular visual inspections to identify issues early.

Relative Humidity

The amount of moisture in the air is called relative humidity.  When moist air comes in contact with a cool surface it condenses back into liquid water.  That’s what causes the outside of your favorited beverage to sweat when it’s humid outside. Inside your home it’s easy to see moisture condense on a window but not so easy to see on a cool bedroom wall. Most people don’t notice the condensation on the wall until the mould starts growing.  Using humidity gauge in your home can tell you how full the air is with moisture. You can find a humidity  gauge in most electronic stores. In general 30-50 humidity is a healthy range for your home.  The higher the relative humidity the more likely you’re going to get to condensation that can lead to mould.   Mould can grow out of sight behind furniture placed against a cool exterior wall, or under carpet and padding. 

Ventilation

Proper ventilation is key.  Bringing fresh outside air into your home lets the moist inside air leave your home. Moisture can also be controlled with good bathroom fans and kitchen range hoods. Using exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms will capture and remove large sources of moist air before it can escape into the house.  A simple test for your fan is to see if it can hold up a piece of tissue paper. Letting a bathroom fan run until the bathroom is dry is essential. It will also assist if you briefly open all your windows to allow outside air to flush out stale moist air trapped inside a bathroom or kitchen.

Final Thoughts

The first step in getting rid of mould is to see what caused the mould and fed it. The next step is to decide if you clean or discard the mould, and that really depends. Slick surface items can probably be thoroughly washed clean.  Porous items may need to be cut out and thrown out. If you’re not sure about you’re sensitive to mould, it’s a good idea to consider professional mould removalists. For small amounts of mould on slick surfaces, you can mist with soapy water then scrub it off.  Bleach isn’t recommended.  If you smell mould, but don’t see it, you may need to get aggressive with your inspection or call a professional. 

If you are in Sydney, the team recommends you contact Balanced Building Biology who are experts in mould in home and business locations.

In order for a business to succeed on the internet, there needs to be a sound marketing strategy in place and that strategy needs to be carried out effectively. There are a lot of elements that go into devising and carrying out a successful campaign.   Most firms that provide digital marketing agency services also specialise in SEO (search engine optimisation), which helps drive organic (not paid) traffic to specific sites on the internet. By contacting an SEO Agency, businesses can obtain insights into the range of services available and the pricing of each.

It is not uncommon for an SEO Company to offer guarantee’s with the Quote. Most firms can generate results, but the ‘guaranteed’ results being offered need to be meaningful. The business must determine the results it needs and wants to see from the online marketing campaign. Guaranteeing the overall results would be more meaningful than just getting on page one of a long not searched for key word phrase.  So be careful to investigate fully what guarantees are bing offered and the true value of them. More often than not they are gimmicks to close deals with the unsuspecting.

It is important to do some background checking on firms being considered for the job. The business needs to make sure the SEO Company can deliver on what it promises. Ask the  SEO Company to provide references and ask around with other businesses in your industry for reputable SEO firms they know of.

Getting An ROI On Your SEO

Return on investment (ROI) is simply described as the net return achieved on the funds employed to produce revenue in a venture. Return on marketing investment (ROMI) is the contribution to profit attributable to marketing (net of marketing spending), divided by the marketing ‘invested’ or risked. ROMI is not like the ROI metrics because marketing is not the same kind of investment. Instead of money that is ‘tied’ up in plants and inventories (often considered capital expenditure or CAPEX, marketing funds are typically ‘risked’ and typically expensed in the current period as operational expenditure or OPEX.

The idea of measuring the market’s response in terms of sales and profits is not new, but terms such as marketing ROI and ROMI are used more frequently now than in past periods. Usually, marketing spending will be deemed as justified if the ROMI is positive. In a recent survey of nearly 200 senior marketing managers, close to half responded that they found the ROMI metric very useful.^[1]

The purpose of ROMI is to measure the degree to which spending on marketing contributes to profits.  The rising costs of running a business are causing business owners to be more and more pressured to “show a return” on their marketing activities. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) falls into this ‘marketing spend’ and some say this should be quantified in terms of ROMI.

The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti

About the Author: J. Krishnamurti

Krishnamurti is regarded globally as one of the greatest thinkers and religious teachers of all time. He did not expound any philosophy or religion, but rather talked of the things that concern all of us in our everyday lives, of the problems of living in modern society with its violence and corruption, of the individual’s search for security and happiness, and the need for mankind to free itself from inner burdens of fear, anger, hurt, and sorrow. He explained with great precision the subtle workings of the human mind, and pointed to the need for bringing to our daily life a deeply meditative and spiritual quality.

Krishnamurti belonged to no religious organization, sect or country, nor did he subscribe to any school of political or ideological thought. On the contrary, he maintained that these are the very factors that divide human beings and bring about conflict and war. He reminded his listeners again and again that we are all human beings first and not Hindus, Muslims or Christians, that we are like the rest of humanity and are not different from one another. He asked that we tread lightly on this earth without destroying ourselves or the environment. He communicated to his listeners a deep sense of respect for nature. His teachings transcend man-made belief systems, nationalistic sentiment and sectarianism. At the same time, they give new meaning and direction to mankind’s search for truth. His teaching, besides being relevant to the modern age, is timeless and universal.

Krishnamurti spoke not as a guru but as a friend, and his talks and discussions are based not on tradition-based knowledge but on his own insights into the human mind and his vision of the sacred, so he always communicates a sense of freshness and directness although the essence of his message remained unchanged over the years. When he addressed large audiences, people felt that Krishnamurti was talking to each of them personally, addressing his or her particular problem. In his private interviews, he was a compassionate teacher, listening attentively to the man or woman who came to him in sorrow, and encouraging them to heal themselves through their own understanding.

Religious scholars found that his words threw new light on traditional concepts. Krishnamurti took on the challenge of modern scientists and psychologists and went with them step by step, discussed their theories and sometimes enabled them to discern the limitations of those theories. Krishnamurti left a large body of literature in the form of public talks, writings, discussions with teachers and students, with scientists and religious figures, conversations with individuals, television and radio interviews, and letters. Many of these have been published as books, and audio and video recordings.

More information about Krishnamurti’s life can be found in the biographies written by Mary Lutyens and Pupul Jayakar.

Concerns about health and the climate have seen alternative forms of travel grow in popularity over the last year. To avoid the hassle and crowds of a busy airport, many are now choosing to holiday by train instead.

Though you might think of planes and cars as simply a means to an ends when it comes to your summer break, on a train trip the journey is all part of the experience. All sorts of experiences are available, with everything from panoramic views and gourmet dining carts to bespoke tour guides and your own personal host.

“Unlike planes, when you travel by train you are able to see the ever-changing landscape rolling by,” says Estelle Giraudeau, managing director of Club Med.

And here are the top five luxury train journeys in the world.

5. Bernina Express, Europe

The highest railway in the Alps, the Bernina Express takes passengers from Chur in Switzerland across the mountainous border to Tirano in Italy.

4. The Ghan, Australia

Stretching from Adelaide in the south all the way to Darwin in the north, The Ghan has been carrying passengers across Australia for more than 90 years.

The construction of the 20km long line is said to be one of the greatest engineering feats in the entire country.

The train also makes a five minute stop to allow you to take a photo at the impressive Kjosfossen waterfall. Local legends say to watch out for Huldra, beautiful mythological creatures with long hair wearing a red dress.

Prices for a spot on this impressive rail journey start at around €47 and more information about the packages available can be found here.

2. Glacier Express, Switzerland

A new study has shown that sexting was associated with depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and compulsive sexual behaviors. The study is published in the peer-reviewed journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking.

Sexting is defined as sending a sexually explicit image of oneself over text messaging. Sexting can include sending only, receiving only or “reciprocal” (sending and receiving) use of messages.

Nicholas C. Borgogna PhD, from Texas Tech University, and coauthors, found that participants who had only ever sent (but not received) sexts reported more depression, anxiety, and sleep problems than the other groups. They also reported a possible connection between sexting, marijuana use, and compulsive sexual behavior.

“While sexting may not necessarily be a causal factor of negative mental health outcomes or substance use, some meaningful covariation clearly exists,” stated the investigators.

“Over 50% of adults report sending a sext, while women are up to four times more likely than men to report having received nonconsensual sexts. Many individuals reveal they enjoy consensual sexting and feel it empowers them and builds self-confidence. Nonconsensual sexts, however, can result in feelings of violation and awkwardness,” says Editor-in-Chief Brenda K. Wiederhold, PhD, MBA, BCB, BCN, Interactive Media Institute, San Diego, California and Virtual Reality Medical Center, La Jolla, California.
