Recycling made pretty easy
I'm not sure if I'm the last to hear about this, but here in Australia there's a website called 'Banish' who will receive your 'shoebox sized' box of recyclables (lotion bottles, toothpaste tubes, lip balm tubes, mascara tubes, eyeliner pencils, plastic razors and blades, etc) AND give you a $15 voucher to spend on their eco-friendly product range.
I've been conscious of beauty-product packaging for a while now, and think this solution just might work for my family.
So I painted a box, as you do, as a reminder in the bathroom. Seems like a win-win to me. Just thought I'd share. :) Here's their page again so you can take a look.
