5 things you may not know that you can recycle

Most of us habitually recycle junk mail, empty cans and other common household items that go into the blue bin. But there are several other items that are recyclable if you know where to take them.

recolour your world

You should never pour leftover paint down the drain or into the sewer. Instead, many paint and building supply retailers have programs through which you can drop off cans with leftover bits of old paint to be recycled.

caffeine boost

If you use a machine with coffee pods, many manufacturers offer mail-in or drop-off options to

recycle the single-use containers. If you use ground coffee, you can repurpose the grounds as fertilizer in your garden.

used and abused textiles

Many of us regularly donate clothing and linens that we’ve outgrown or no longer need. But you may not know that some of the charitable organizations that accept these reusable goods will also take scraps of other textiles, such as remnant fabric swatches left over from a sewing project, for recycling. Check with your local outlet to confirm before dropping them off.

municipal affairs

A potential one-stop shop to drop off your atypical recyclables is your

local household hazardous waste depot. Depending on the site’s capacity, they may collect things like paint and stain, aerosol containers, household cleaners, motor oil, electronics and more.

the write stuff

While we may live in a high-tech world, many of us still put pen to paper every day. While we’re used to putting the paper in the recycling bin when we’re done with it, did you know that you can also recycle pens and other writing implements when they run out?

All Staples Canada stores collect these items – plus batteries and electronics. You can find a location close to you and more information on recycling at staples.ca/environment. ■

summer heatwave survival tips

Over the next 30 years the number of extremely hot days in a year is expected to double in some parts of Canada.

Along with summer comes extreme heat in many parts of the country. Over the next 30 years the number of extremely hot days in a year is expected to double in some parts of Canada. This level of heat can put your health at risk if

you don’t take precautions. Here are some key tips to survive these temperatures.

1. know your risk

Older adults, young children, people living with chronic illness, social isolation or poverty, and

people who work outdoors often have a higher risk for heat illness. If you take medication, consult with your family doctor or pharmacist about your level of risk.

2. check your AC

If you have an air conditioner, make sure it is working properly before the hot weather starts.

3. dress appropriately

In high temperatures, dress accordingly in loose-fitting, light-coloured and breathable clothing.

4. avoid midday heat

UV rays and temperatures are often highest between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. If it’s hot, reschedule your outdoor activities or plan them for cooler parts of the day.

5. stay hydrated

Drink plenty of cool liquids -especially water – before you feel thirsty. Remember, thirst isn’t a good indicator of dehydration.

6. eat fresh

Avoid using your oven or other appliances that will heat up your home. Try no-heat meals like hearty grain salads or barbecue outdoors.

7. let in a breeze

If it’s safe to do so, open your windows at night to let cooler air into your home while the sun is down.

8. check in with others

Arrange for regular checks with family members, neighbours or friends during very hot days in case you or they need help. Just remember to follow the public health advisories that are in place in your area.

9. take a break

If your home is extremely hot, try to spend a few hours in a cool place, such as a shaded area or public library. Whatever strategies you adopt, always watch for symptoms of heat illnesses. These include dizziness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, headache, or rapid breathing and heartbeat. If you have any of these symptoms during extreme heat, move to a cool place and drink water right away.

Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately if you’re caring for someone who has a high body temperature and is either unconscious, confused, or has stopped sweating.

enjoy your summer without stressing over money

Here are tips to help you make the most of summer without breaking the bank during this time of high costs and high interest rates:

make a summer budget

Prepare a budget in advance for the activities you want to do over the summer. That way you can set limits on your spending, identify

ways to reduce costs and focus on what you really want – and what you can really afford – to do.

A free online tool to help you start is the budget planner from the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. The smartphone-friendly tool is designed to help people start and maintain a budget. lt uses insights into how people make financial decisions to create an interactive experience personalized to your needs.

indulge in day trips

Travelling can get expensive, but you might not need to go far for some fun. Check out local travel guides to know what’s happening in your region and to get information about parks and festivals near you. Pack a simple picnic and make a day of it whether you go to the local pool or a local park. We are fortunate to have national and provincial parks in every province and territory in Canada. Spending

time outside in nature can be a great and inexpensive way to relax and recharge our batteries.

plan ahead to cut down costs

If you decide to go on a trip, consider ways to make it more affordable. Air travel can add up, so road trips might be a better option this year. You may wish to check out places off the beaten path since they can be cheaper. Research and compare restaurant and accommodation options in advance to help you stay within your budget.

pack like a pro

It’s no big secret moving can be stressful – from broken dishes to lost items. But there are a few things you can do to make the whole process a little easier on the nerves.

• Boxes of books get heavy fast so ensure to use only small boxes when it comes to these items. Apply this general rule to everything you’re packing: the heavier the item, the smaller the box.

• Emptying the closet can be an organizing nightmare. Use specific wardrobe boxes to simplify the process. To save space, clothes in drawers can be packed into suitcases.

BY CHUCK RESNICK

rooms in the same box – it can make for a frustrating unpacking process or a wild goose-chase if you’re looking for kitchen utensils in the living room box. Keep a record of what goes into which box so you can find what you need instantly.

Start by planning your moving day well in advance. Once you select your moving company, book your reservations two to four weeks before your scheduled move day to guarantee availability.

Next, it’s time to roll up those sleeves and begin boxing up your household or office space. Choosing boxes to do this may not be as much of a no-brainer as you’d presume:

• As tempting as it may be to pick up used cardboard boxes from the grocery store, don’t. You never know what little critter is hiding in the corner of food boxes – or if the box will be strong enough to support your possessions. In fact, don’t use used boxes in general; you don’t know how much weight they can handle or how much weight they’ve already handled.

Assign boxes to specific rooms. Avoid mixing items from different

When it comes to large appliances, take a peek at the owner’s manuals to see if there are special instructions for moving.

Packing breakables requires the upmost care. Always stack dishes upwards and never use newsprint to wrap fine china as it can be messy to clean. Instead, choose protective packing paper or bubble wrap.

With these tips and a few deep breaths, you’re well on your way to a smooth-sailing move. Visit twomen.ca for a location near you. ■

with summer electricity savings keep cool

Many of us eagerly wait for summer

to arrive so we can head outside to enjoy the warmer weather. But as the temperatures rise, we look for ways to cool our homes while actively looking for ways to use less electricity.

Here are some simple tips to help you lower your summer electricity costs:

use LED lightbulbs

Energy Star-certified LEDs are cool to the touch, which reduces am-

bient heat and the need for a cooler air conditioning setting. They also last up to 15 times longer and use approximately 75 per cent less electricity than traditional bulbs.

run your ceiling fan counterclockwise

This will push hot air up and move cooler air around your room. Remember to turn off the fan when you leave the room. Circulating the air makes our bodies feel cooler but it doesn’t cool the room.

hang your laundry to dry outdoors

If you have a backyard or balcony, try setting up a simple line or rack and let your clothes air dry.

ask for help

Funded by the Province of Ontario, The AffordAbility Fund can provide free energy-efficient upgrades like LED lightbulbs and new energy-efficient appliances.
