It’s easy for items to find their way into the landfill. From food packaging, old furniture, and household waste, it can be difficult to avoid sending items there. However, with a few simple and easy tips, you can drastically reduce your contribution and avoid landfill.
First of all, get creative with what you already have at home. From using old clothes as rags in the kitchen to giving an old piece of furniture a new lease on life by upcycling it into something entirely different, reusing items is an easy and environmentally friendly way to prevent them from going straight into the bin.
Next, consider purchasing items secondhand instead of buying everything brand new – this will not only save you money in the long run but also keeps pre-loved objects out of landfill sites when they’re no longer wanted or needed.
