Bath Salt Reuse?

I realize the title is odd but so is getting three bags of bath salts for Christmas in one year (I don't even use them).

Any suggestions how I could repurpose/recycle these? I don't want to just add to trash if there's a more obvious route.

Thank you!

Is it a pipe dream to think I can break down an old stereo and speakers to make them more recyclable?

Landfill petition - UK residents.

Would it be possible if people could sign/share this petition, this is a petition to the government. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700273

It is to get Landfills closed which produce Hydrogen sulphide and toxins in residential areas.

One Landfill has already been closed by the environment agency this week: Wallays quay.

There is a few more around the country, most noticeably one in Fleetwood and one in Bury.

Here is another petition relating to Landfills on change.org

https://www.change.org/p/close-the-landfill-on-jameson-road-in-fleetwood-operated-by-transwaste?recruiter=43762926&recruited_by_id=8ae67d00-6cd4-0130-915d-38ac6f16d25f&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=petition_dashboard_share_modal&utm_medium=copylink

Refill your toilet rim block

Assuming that you have the plastic ones vs say the powder ones where you have to throw away said plastic, what you can do when it finishes is :

  • Buy toilet gel
  • Use said toilet gel to refill the rim block

Done. Much much cheaper and better for the planet too given you're not buying as many. I would however buy a "known brand" first over say Lidl'a purely because the known brand will have a better quality rim block. I noticed my Lidl one would leak a lot

How to recycle cooking oil (veg oil)

  1. Reuse- pour into a jar to use for frying or stir-frying something else.

  2. Reuse- as fire-starter or as an additive to heating oil if you use liquid fuel to heat your home

  3. Recycle- place oil in a jug and pour it into a waste oil bin on the side of a shopping plaza or restaurant-it gets turned into bio fuel. In some places, cooking oil is accepted at HHW collection events

  4. If under 1 qt, pour onto mulched area of a garden (kills off weeds)

How bad is smell in recycling facilities.

Hello!

I just got a job at a recycling facility in a city close to me. The job is operating an automated sorting machine as well as performing maintenance. It’s like… a really good job. Pay above what I was looking for, I get to work less hours, great benefits. Almost too good to be true. So I asked the hiring manager what the catch was, and he said the only thing to be concerned with was the smell. He said it was quite surprising and hard to get used to for the first few days, but then manageable to deal with. I understand this and am realistic, I’ll be sorting trash, of course it’s gonna smell.

Here’s the fun part: I have contamination OCD! As you can imagine this complicates things. I have worked as a food busser as well as some other dirty jobs and as long as I have gloves or a mask when it’s really bad, I’m mostly fine. Smell sometimes is a pretty intense issue for me. I manage the condition well and it only flares up bad when I’m stressed. I’m worried about it being bad while I start the job due to new job jitters.

So, people who have worked in recycling facilities, how bad is it really? Should I put Vicks in my nose? Wear a respirator? Tips and tricks for surviving the smell?

This job would change my life financially speaking, so I really would like to get past the smell and work hard.

Thanks!
