How to cut down on waste

The best way to manage our waste is to reduce it in the first place!   Some simple changes to your shopping habits could make a big difference.

Reduce

• Buy products with less packaging; your fruit and vegetables loose for example
  
• Reduce the amount of food you waste  
  
• Buy products that are more durable and built to last 
  
• Avoid disposable items like paper plates, disposable razors and cameras     
  

Reuse

• Repair broken appliances instead of replacing with new ones
• Print on both sides of your paper
• Donate old clothes and shoes to charity 

Recycle

• Use Harrow's recycling services as much and as often as you can
• Remember if you put it in your waste bin, it will go to landfill where it could stay forever.
