- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle are most common methods to reduce solid waste.
- Purchase items in bulk. Products that are packaged in larger packages typically
use less packaging per product than smaller packages.
- Buy items that are packaged in recycled cartons. This helps to promote recycling.
- Place food scraps in a compost bin. You can also use newspaper and other
biodegradable items to make compost.
- Carry cloth bags to the grocery store or market. Use these bags in place of plastic
or paper bags that will be thrown away. Reuse the cloth bags each time you shop.
- Give items to charity or sell in a yard sale rather than throwing them away.
Sometimes, 1 person's trash is another person's treasure. This is a wonderful way
to recycle items.
- Find a way to reuse items rather than throwing them away. An example would be
to wash and reuse plastic containers rather than using plastic baggies and throwing
them in the trash.
- Reuse items for a different purpose than originally intended. For example,
make a pencil holder out of a metal can.
- Check to see if the packaging you are about to throw away can be returned
for refill. Soft drink bottles sometimes offer a deposit for returning to the store.
Computer ink cartridges can be returned and refilled.
- Recharge batteries rather than using disposable. You will save money in the
long run and keep these items out of landfills.
- Teaching others about the benefits of reducing solid waste. Talk about reducing
solid waste in the schools and at community events
