REDUCE – Think about how you can cut down the amount of rubbish you create. When shopping think about what you buy. Look for lasting, refillable or rechargeable items. Avoid unnecessary packaging. Use a bag for life. Make a shopping list to avoid unnecessary impulse buys. Avoid disposable items like nappies, cameras and paper plates.
RE-USE - Re-use items whenever possible. Repair rather than replace. re-use clothes. Use both sides of paper. Use real nappies. Give unwanted furniture to Doncaster Refurnish and toys, books and bric-a-brac to charity stores or car boot. If you have forgotten to use your bag for life, re-use plastic carrier bags to separate materials in the Green Box, for shopping or use as bin liners.
RECYCLE - You have reduced and re-used as much as possible but inevitably there is still rubbish to be disposed of. 80% of this rubbish has the potential to be remanufactured into new products, diverting from landfill and saving resources. By using your green box and the recycling banks around Doncaster, you can ensure all glass, paper, textiles, aluminium and steel, gets recycled. Car batteries, fridges, freezers, oil, scrap metal, green waste and cardboard can also be recycled at the Council’s Household Waste Recycling Centres. You could also create a composter or wormery & let nature turn your green waste into an excellent soil conditioner.
