Waste Tips - Reduce & Reuse
  • Bring Your Own Bag: Stuff and Carry
  • To reduce your use of plastic bags, carry single items home without a bag or stow smaller items in your purse, backpack or book bag.
  • A Second Chance at Life
  • Instead of throwing clothes away:
    • Find out if friends or family can use them.
    • Organize a clothing swap and trade.
    • Have a yard sale.
    • Donate them to a shelter, charitable organization, or a second hand store.
    You can also cancel magazine and newspaper subscriptions that you don’t read. Instead, go online or to a local lending library if you want to read a particular magazine issue or article.
