Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Always remember the 3 R's (and remind your family and friends!)

Reduce

Always think about what you are throwing away!

Would someone else like what you are throwing away?

Would a charity shop benefit from the item?

Why don't you make your own gifts and cards for your family and friends - they'll prefer the personal touch!

Reuse

Reusing things can delay or avoid something being thrown away

You can reuse paper that has been used on one side as a notepad or for drawings.

Some items you may be able to take into school to use for arts and crafts.

Recycle

If you cannot reduce or reuse your waste put it in your blue box or take it to a recycling bank around the borough!
