Do you have any tips to reduce or re-use waste?

The first method in reducing your garbage is to try and reduce the amount of waste that is purchased. Companies that manufacture and sell products sometimes package items in ridiculously large and bulky packaging. If there's an alternative product with less packaging, consider buying that one. Certain retailers may even allow you to take the product without the packaging.

Following your attempt to reduce waste at the source, consider a re-use opportunity. Greater Sudbury is host to a variety of reuse organizations and you could donate gently used items to those organizations. If you have the time, you can even hold a yard sale or try to sell the item online.
