What to do with junk in your summer cottage: tidy up before the New Year

Some summer cottages are real garbage dumps. Fortunately, there are few of them, but even in perfectly cleaned yards you will occasionally see a couple of things that are definitely considered trash.

For example, in the garden you often come across remnants of polyethylene film, which is used to cover the beds.

Instead of leaving such material on your “hundred square meters,” hurry to take it to a garbage collection point, otherwise the film will eventually turn into microplastic, which will go straight from your garden to your table.

If you don't know what to do with old spunbond, try using it to bandage trees. Not suitable for this purpose either? Then throw it in the trash.

But metal scraps in the form of broken gardening tools should not be thrown away.

You can, of course, dispose of the “remains” of rakes, shovels, buckets, hoes, crowbars and other pieces of iron by handing them over to a scrap metal collection point.

But it will be even better if you bury them in the garden under trees, where they will turn into a source of iron for plants.

Previously, we talked about why mushrooms appear on the site and how to get rid of them.
