  • Reuse items like shopping bags, water bottles and coffee mugs.
  • Repurpose goods by donating items you no longer need.
  • Repair broken items instead of throwing them out.
  • Refuse to buy products you won’t use often - rent or borrow instead.
  • Reduce, repair and reuse your clothes to help minimize landfill waste
