In The News...
Spring flowers bring new life, while Lori's Dayton Daily News articles bring new life to our organizing:
Notifications Off...
According to Forbes.com, a Harris poll found "Twenty-four percent of workers admitted they spend at least an hour a day on personal email, texts and personal calls." According to the survey, some of the biggest time wasters were using social media, talking on cell phones, and texting. All of these distractions can cause you to become disorganized at work.
Since phones can be so distracting, turn off the Notifications for your Apps while you are in the work place. The notification alone can be just as distracting as actually taking a phone call or answering a text. You really don't need to know if your Aunt Betty posted a picture of her cat on Instragram while you are at work, now do you?
We've Got Your Number...
You want to do your part and recycle, but it can be confusing sometimes! Here are some guidelines about what Numbers to look out for on the bottom of your recyclables for a few of the surrounding counties.
Montgomery County: Recycles numbers 1-6
Greene County: Recycles numbers 1-2
Miami County: Recycles numbers 1-2
Warren County: Springboro/Waste Management numbers 1-6
*Since there are several different haulers in Warren County, a good rule of thumb is to recycle any plastic or glass container with a "neck."
If the wrong number item sneaks into the recycling machines, it can shut down the whole operation for the day. Do your part by recycling responsibly. Each county and town has different rules about recycling based on what equipment their hauler has. If you still have questions, contact your hauler directly for specifics on what to recycle and how.
Keep in mind that most recycling groups request the following:
