How to Properly Dispose of Toilet Paper Rolls

Tear into Small Pieces: Break the rolls into smaller pieces to speed up decomposition.

Add to Compost Bin: Cardboard is rich in carbon (“brown” material) and pairs well with “green” material like vegetable scraps.

Mix Regularly: Turn the compost to ensure even breakdown.

3. Reuse for Crafts and DIY Projects

Kids’ Crafts: Use rolls for building models, decorations, or art projects.

Garden Use: Cut rolls into sections to create biodegradable seedling pots.

Organizing: Use rolls to manage cords or store small items.

4. Alternative Uses Around the House

Bird Feeders: Smear peanut butter on the roll, roll it in birdseed, and hang outside.

Fire Starters: Fill rolls with dryer lint to create eco-friendly fire starters.

Pet Toys: Use as chew toys for small animals like hamsters or rabbits.

5. Avoiding Landfill Waste

Think Before Tossing: By recycling, composting, or reusing, you can prevent hundreds of toilet paper rolls from ending up in landfills each year.

Educate Household Members: Encourage everyone to adopt these habits for a more sustainable home.
