Reducing your waste

Although we encourage everyone to recycle as much as possible, the most important thing you can do is to reduce the amount of waste you create in the first place.

Think before you buy; do your vegetables need all that packaging? Do you need those disposable items (e.g. can you use washable reusable nappies)? Can you compost your kitchen waste?

The following pages provide you with information about schemes we offer to help you reduce your waste.
