It might be the worst date on your weekly calendar, but it's a date that you definitely don't want to stand up. Garbage Day.

You tie it all up into neat, plastic bags, haul it outside, and, like magic, your home smells fresh again, and that makes you happy.

Yes, we believe in the "magical world of trash"; out of sight, out of mind. Did you know that the world produces 1.2 billion tonnes of waste every year?
