Reducing your waste has never been so easy!

Reduce your waste by:

• only buying what's needed
• buying products that have minimal packaging where possible
• using refillable water bottles and coffee cups
• not forgetting to take your reusable shopping bag to the shops
• making use of refill shops - find a list of shops in West Sussex on our Community Climate Action Hub.
• repairing things - see the Big Fix page
• donating unwanted items
• using alternative food packaging such as reusable containers, beeswax wraps and so on
• using an e-reader
• getting creative by making new things from old materials like making a bag from old clothing - there are lots of resources online to help.

Before putting something in the general waste bin, ask yourself four questions:

1. Can it be repaired?
2. Can it be cleaned and reused for the same or a different purpose?
3. Would anyone else want it?
4. Can it be recycled in either your home recycling bin or at a local recycling centre?
