If you are anything like us, then the thought of how much goes to landfill will make you grimace and wish there were something you could do to minimize your own landfill waste. Keep reading to discover three simple ways you can thrive for better in your everyday life.
1. Shop Secondhand!
Shopping secondhand is a fantastic way to reduce landfill waste. Each time you buy something pre-loved, you increase that items lifespan and stop it from being discarded in waste. You can buy so many different things secondhand too!
Why not check out Furniturelink Surrey for pre-loved furniture? Or enjoy browsing through charity shops in your local area for some high quality secondhand clothes?
When you make a purchase in a charity shop, you not only get a great price whilst reducing landfill waste - but you also support a charitable organisation help people in need.
2. Recycle, Recycle, Recycle!
Correctly recycling your household waste is an excellent way to do your part in the fight against landfill waste. Why not segregate your recycling into different categories (plastics, paper, glass, cardboard) and take a trip to your local recycling center?
Your recycling could even be reused and turned into something else, for example, pens made out of recycled plastic bottles!
3. Repurpose Old Furniture!
Do you have any old furniture that is still in good usable condition? Then have a go at upcycling and give your old furniture a new lease of life!
There are lots of educational materials available online to teach you how! You'd be surprise by what you can create!
Which of these do you already do? Perhaps you are going to try your hand at upcycling, or shop more frequently at secondhand stores?
