I went on a search today to find some ideas about how I could dispose of a vacuum. I really thought maybe I would just throw it into the dumpster and call it good, but after reading this great article on the Good Human about vacuum disposal I have decided to donate my vacuum.

You see great designers all have something in common. We care about what happens to the items we use in our home after we are done using them. By donating my vacuum I know that it will get a second life. There were a few other options given in the article as well. I could give it to a friend. I thought about that, but everyone I know has one already.

Another option and one I do love is fixing it! I know is seems obvious, for me this is not an option as I needed something with a light and pet attachments as there is fir all over my apartment. For many people though fixing a vacuum is a great way to save money in the long run. Think of it this way if you have to pay 50-75 to fix your vacuum that cost $200-$300 it’s worth it. Also fixing it keeps yet another vacuum from heading to the landfill.

Would you fix your vacuum or get rid of it if it stopped working?

I would appreciate your thoughts on this post, why not comment?
