Generating less trash every day can make a big difference. Taking advantage of your local or city program to recycle trash like paper, plastic, newspaper, glass, and aluminum cans is one easy way to get started. Also, try to buy products with zero waste or eco-friendly packaging whenever you can so you’re putting less trash in your bin every day.
You can also:
- Donate items you don't want instead of throwing them away
- Use cloth towels, reusable plates, and silverware instead of paper towels, paper plates, and disposable silverware
- Buy used items, like furniture, from classified sites like Craigslist or local thrift stores
