Avoid 

The best thing we can do is to avoid creating waste in the first place. One of the easiest things you can do is use reusable items over single use ones such as bags, cups, bottles and straws. 

Reduce 

Reduce the amount of waste you create by only buying what you need. For example, you could plan your meals and shopping list so that you don’t buy too much food and borrow or hire things if you only need them for a short time. 

Reuse 

Support reuse by posting unwanted items online for sale or donating them to a local charity and shop for items you need at op shops first. 

Recycle 

A number of items that are recyclable can be placed in the City’s recycling bins but there are other ways to recycle. Advertise items for free on online or support a charity.
