Waste Reduction Tips

• To reduce the amount of waste that we pay to landfill, reduce the amount of garbage you generate.
• Buy durable, refillable and reusable rather than disposable products.
• Purchase products sold in recyclable containers and those made from recycled material.
• Select products with the least packaging, like concentrated products.
• Buy items in bulk and in refillable containers.
• Use dish towels and napkins instead of paper.
• Bring your own bags to the store.
• Share magazines and newspapers with a friend, nursing home, hospital or library.
• Reuse bags and containers that can't be recycled.
• Sell or donate used goods such as clothing, furniture and toys to a thrift shop, day care center, charity or second hand store instead of throwing them away.
• Write to companies that send unwanted junk mail, have them take you off their mailing list.

What you can do at the office:

• Use scrap paper for informal notes or messages.
• Print things on recycled paper.
• Re-use copies or printer paper when possible.
• Re-use manila envelopes & folders.
• Post memos & communications or route a single copy instead of making multiple copies.
