Home Tips > Tips By Category > Tips you can implement daily The following is a list of tips for your family to start Trash Reduction: 1 - Reduce Many neighborhoods have bulk food stores, that help you reduce the amount of packaging you use. Most towns have charity outlets such as Goodwill and the Salvation Army that reuse your old things to help someone else. More communities are providing curbside recycling. This simply means, use less stuff! If you bring less stuff home, you have less stuff to throw out! Bring your own bags to the store. Buy food in bulk, not individual servings. Use reusable containers for leftovers and in your lunch bag. Cut back on fast food meals, they pollute more than your arteries!   2 - Reuse When you buy used CDs, books, games, and clothes, you save money. When you sell your old stuff, you get money back. When you donate your old toys and appliances, you're giving someone else a present!   3 - Recycle Set up a recycling center in your kitchen. First find out what your town recycles. Most towns give you a card to put on the fridge that reminds you what can be recycled. They usually give you a big plastic bin to hold your bottles and cans between pickup days. Get a big paper bag for newspapers. Keep a record for a month and record how many garbage bags your family fills up each week. Watch the number get smaller as you begin to recycle things you would have thrown away!
