Move the Trash Basket Where You Need It

Is your waste basket or trash receptacle where it fits or where you need it? The place to put it is close to where the trash originates. That may be where the mail is sorted, where food is prepared or just about any area where stuff is designated as trash.

Do a trash basket audit in your area. If your trash baskets are working for you, that's great. If there is a better place for a trash basket, try it out for a while to see if it works. Keep your systems flexible and make them work for you.

Trash baskets are very often placed in spaces where the container fit--such as under a desk. It may not be the right place for the user. There are a multitude of waste receptacle designs--tall, skinny, flip top, and many more. Find the configuration that works for you.

Moving a trash basket? Just remember to notify all who need to know. Who wants a banana peel in the place where the trash can used to be?

So where is your trash basket? Does that work for you? We would like to know.
