The Tricks Nobody Tells You About Everyday Trash
Most people assume dryer lint, toilet paper rolls, and banana peels belong in the garbage… But these three things turn into some of the cheapest and most effective home hacks ever discovered. Let’s continue.
3. Dryer Lint + Toilet Roll = Perfect Firelighters
Dryer lint is extremely flammable and that makes it the perfect ingredient for homemade fire starters.
Just do this:
- Take an empty toilet roll
- Stuff it tightly with dryer lint
That’s it. Place it between firewood, light it, and the lint burns slowly and evenly, helping the fire catch quickly. It works in fireplaces, fire pits, wood stoves, camping fires anywhere you need a safe, steady flame. Say goodbye to expensive store-bought fire starters.
4. Toilet Rolls Make Perfect Bird Feeders
Instead of tossing empty toilet rolls, you can turn them into adorable little bird feeders that help wildlife especially in colder months.
You’ll need:
- Peanut butter
- Bird seeds
- An empty toilet roll
Here’s how:
- Spread a thin layer of peanut butter all over the roll
- Roll it in bird seeds until fully covered
- Hang it outside or slide it over a branch
Birds absolutely love it and you’ll enjoy watching them flock to your homemade feeder.
5. Banana Peels Make Amazing Plant Fertilizer
Banana peels are loaded with potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus the same nutrients found in store-bought fertilizer.
Here’s the easy method:
- Chop the peels
- Place 100 g of peel in 1 liter of water
- Let it sit for 48 hours
- Strain
- Use the “banana water” to feed your plants every second watering
You’ll notice stronger growth, greener leaves, and healthier plants all from something you normally throw away.
