Make leaving an outing space tidy easier by giving wrappers and other small waste a defined place in your bag. Gather a reusable washable pouch or appropriate small bag and your day bag.
Set it up
Choose a pocket that stays separate from clean belongings and place the empty waste pouch there before leaving home.
Put the idea to work
Put your own small wrappers and similar waste in the pouch when no suitable bin is available, closing it securely afterward.
Finish and keep it useful
Sort and dispose of the contents appropriately at home, then clean and dry the pouch before returning it to the bag. Avoid picking up unknown sharp, leaking, or otherwise hazardous waste with bare hands as part of this simple routine.
Where could a closed waste pouch stay separate from clean items in your bag?
