Sustainable Holidays | 10 Green Holiday Tips for the Home and Office

12/12/2017 by DeniseB Leave a Comment

Ah … the holidays. A time of generosity and good will. Also, a time of excess that often results in extra waste. Studies show that household waste increases by a stunning 25% from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day!

Not only is this statistic a mind boggling, it not sustainable. Think about all the holiday trimmings, packaging, and other compostable waste that goes directly into a landfill. What if we could make a difference by looking for ways to reduce, reuse and recycle holiday wrappings and gifts?

Sustainable Holidays are a Blessing

Try something really thoughtful this holiday season – rethink how you shop, wrap and celebrate. Identify ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. Make this your gift to the world for generations to come.

10 Green Holiday Tips for the Home & Office:

Reduce Food Waste: This time of year is a time of excess resulting in large amount of food waste. Why not plan for the right amount of food to save money and reduce food waste. If you over estimated, donate the leftovers to a local shelter, food bank or freeze it for later before it spoils.
Recyclable Shopping Bags: Bring your own shopping bags to the mall or grocery stores. Using and reusing cloth bags can reduce the thousands of bags that end up in landfills. If you do use paper or plastic bags, recycle them.
Throw a Green Holiday Party: Going Green for the holidays should be carried over to any parties or gatherings that you have at home or the office. Clearly label recycling containers for cans, bottles and other recyclables. Of course, a Green Party can be held year ‘round, check out our blog, ‘Throw a Green Party this Labor Day’ and make it your New Year’s Resolution to continue your Green Initiatives into the new year.
Forgo the Paper Card & Costly Postage: Sending out Holiday Cards that often end up in trash heaps unread have a triple whammy on the environment – paper comes from trees, delivery costs money, delivery sends carbons into our atmosphere. Using eCards to offer holiday wishes instead. If you feel the absolutely need to send a physical card, use recycled ones & hand deliver, when possible..
LED Holiday Lights & Timers: LED Lights use up to 80% less energy and last 10 times longer. Also, use a timer or turn lights off during the day and late evening.
Creative Gift Giving: The GIFT OF TIME will be much more appreciated than a tacky Christmas sweater or cheesy tie. Give thoughtful gifts that are more meaningful and useful. Give tickets to a show, concert or game; passes to a state or national park, gift certificates for dinner or a spa day. Make your own coupons for personal services, such as free babysitting, a home cooked meal, helping an elderly relative with everyday chores or home maintenance. Think outside the box about ways to spread goodwill and cheer throughout the year!
Opt for Eco-friendly Wrapping Alternatives: Use old posters, maps, newspapers, reusable gift bags to present your gifts this holiday season. Cookie tins, flower pots and baskets are a creative and green way to place a present in a present.
Stop Junk Mail: This time of year, the amount of catalogs and charitable donation solicitations can fill recycle bins at lightening speed. Sometimes it feels as if charitable donations go directly into re-solicitations of donations. If you’d like to stop the endless cycle, Check Out this article by eco-cycle that will help your put the kibosh on junk mail.
Rechargeable Batteries: About 40% of battery sales occur during the holiday season. Help out the environment by buying rechargeable batteries and making sure to safely recycle any old batteries.
Recycle Electronics and Cell Phones: This is the time of year when new electronics and cell phones are snatched off the shelf and presented in pretty packages and bags under the tree. PLEASE make sure to safely recycle or find a good home for your old electronics.

The more people that set a GREEN Example, the better chance our society has to succeed in educating those around us how a little thought and creativity can change a mindset that has been long in the making.

Give the world the gift of lowering your carbon footprint –we only have one earth and the holiday season should be a celebration of the beauty of nature, a true gift we all can appreciate!

How Many Porta Potties Do I Need?

How Can I Figure Out How Many Porta Potties I Need For My Event?

Fall is a busy time for outdoor events such as festivals, sporting events, charitable functions, weddings, concerts, etc… Our portable toilets are in high demand during this time of year. We suggest planning ahead for an event where porta potties are necessary in order to get the best prices. If you are in charge of a special event, part of that is ensuring the right amount of porta potties and sanitation stations are ordered.

If your activity will take place in a rural setting far from sewer lines, keep in mind septic systems are extremely limited when it comes to handling large amounts of waste. Avoid messy and hazardous disasters by planning ahead.

Even events held in areas where modern day conveniences, such a flush toilets and sinks are available, may benefit from our clean and affordable porta potties and wash stations. Large crowds and long lines for facilities could take away from your event.

The undervalued porta potty can make a big difference in the success of an event. When hosting an event that will last for hours and involves a consistent consumption of food and beverages there will be a consistent need for bathroom facilities.

When dealing with a reputable portable restroom provider, such as Waste Master Solutions in Delaware, the units will be delivered on time, in clean and working order and placed in the best spot for your event. They will be properly serviced throughout the duration of your event.

The number of portable toilets needed for an event hinges on the variety of factors, such as the number of attendees, event duration, whether alcohol is served and the female/male ratio. If alcohol is served, believe it or not, people will urinate 30 to 40 percent more. Adding 10% more porta potties should be sufficient. Check out this chart to determine the number of porta potties needed for your event.

How Many Portable Toilets Do I Need?

Don’t forget to order some hand sanitizing stations and portable handicap toilets for larger or public events. When shopping around for port-a-potty rentals, you’ll want to ask plenty of questions. Often, the lower quotes might not actually be the cheapest, as they may include extra charges for items such as collection, delivery and toilet paper. Be sure to clarify ALL costs incurred before making a final decision.

While you want the portable toilets close to the event, you don’t want them too close. Have your supplier help you map out the area and ascertain the best location and the amount of space you’ll need so there is no surprises at setup time.

Waste Masters Solutions is a reliable provider of top-of-the-line sanitation solutions, delivering portable restrooms in pristine condition for events all around the Tri-State area, serving Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We properly service them throughout the entire event and have the ability to service all your waste solution needs.
