Reduce, Reuse, Recycle first

• Reduce: buy only what you need and what will last. Buy quality second hand items for a more reasonable price than new.
• Reuse: consider giving away or selling the item. Hold a Garage Sale and we will advertise your sale on the Council website, try selling or donating online or contact a local charity group.
• Recycle: your item may be recyclable. Check out our A to Z Guide to Recycling, Reuse and Disposal
