Recycle, resell and reuse
Did you know the average person throws away 400kg of waste each year? That's 7 times their body weight. Cut down on your daily waste with these simple recycling habits:
- Keep a recycling box next to your waste bin, to make it easier to separate recyclables
- Invest in reusable bags for your weekly shop. This will reduce the number of plastic bags you use
- Bring your own flask or reusable cup when you buy coffee on the go
- Find out about local recycling collections near you for things like broken laptops, phones and larger recyclables that won't go in your weekly collection
- Donate your unwanted clothes, books and toys to local charity shops, so they can enjoy a second lease of life
