Before you throw something into the bin, think about whether you or somebody else could reuse it.
Donating clothes, toys, books, furniture, electrical goods and other unwanted items to charity not only reduces our waste burden, it’s also beneficial for society.
Don’t forget you can also refill bottles, reuse bags and find new uses for all kinds of household items that you might ordinarily consider rubbish. Some plastic sweet tubs, for example, can now be reused to microwave or freeze food in.
