Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
This site aims to be a comprehensive database of materials or items that you may wish to get rid of, and how best to do so.
We recommend the Rethree principal, namely:
- Reduce: It is always better to reduce your intake than to end up with too much of something which ends up being thrown away. This is particularly true of food.
- Reuse: If something is no longer wanted for its intended purpose, can it be re-used? Maybe old print-outs can be kept as scrap paper? Or perhaps that wrapping-paper can be re-used? If you don't think you have any further use for it, then perhaps someone else does. If so, try and pass it on.
- Recycle: If all else fails, recycle where at all possible.
IMPORTANT: All information is provided in good-faith, but without any guarantee of accuracy or completeness. In particular, this is a UK-specific site and so the information may not apply in other countries. Please use this information sensibly, and at your own risk. Corrections and clarifications welcome.
