Reduce your waste

Simple changes can make a big difference and save you money:

plan meals, buy less, only cook what you need, freeze foods and use up leftovers
use sandwich boxes for your packed lunch instead of plastic bags
use refillable drinks bottles, pens, pencils, sprays and cartridges
reuse plastic bags or reusable shopping bags and avoid pre-packed items
pass on unwanted clothes, toys, games, comics and books to friends or charity shops
donate magazines to hairdressers, doctors and dentists and reuse envelopes
use a food digester or our food waste caddies and collection service
use a compost bin or our garden waste collection service
take unwanted medicines back to the chemist for them to dispose of
use energy saving light bulbs, re-chargeable batteries and reusable nappies
