Reduce the amount you throw away.
Put your rubbish in your old, reused carrier bags for the binmen
Instead of buying black bin bags. If you still need to buy bin bags, buy recycled ones.
Buy milk in glass bottles which can be reused rather than big plastic cartons.
Start a compost heap in the garden. Click here for instructions on how to do this.
Schools, colleges and Art Clubs can make use of milk bottle tops, toilet rolls, yoghurt pots, lolly sticks, ice cream cartons….Contact them to find out what they need and save it for them.
Think about the amount of food you need. Did you know we throw away 30% of the food we buy? What a waste of money!
