The Spooky Side of Home Decor

Decorating the house to be spooky is fun for the kids. However, it becomes really scary when you think about how much waste goes to the landfill when decorations are used only once and then tossed. Follow the tips listed below to prevent unnecessary landfill waste.

• Be creative with items you have around the house. For instance, you can take some old sheets and stuff the center with newspaper or cloth and then close with a rubber band. Hang it on a tree to make a homemade ghost.
• Choose sustainable items for your décor. When purchasing any Halloween décor, make sure they are durable and will last for years.
• Use soy candles or beeswax candles instead of regular candles.
• If you plan on having a Monster Bash, send out holiday invitations electronically.
