We have become so used to throwing things away without a second thought. However, many household items can be used over and over again.
Think again and use again
- Donate your unwanted furniture, electrical goods, sports equipment and bicycles to re-use organisations
- Take clothes, toys, books and bric-a-brac to a local charity shop
- Use both sides of a piece of paper and turn scrap paper into a note book
- Envelopes can be used again, use sticky labels to cover the old address
- Jam jars can make handy containers for all sorts of things
- Turn your old T shirt into a duster
- Be crafty and create, it is amazing what can be made from waste
- If you clear out the attic, sell your unwanted items at a car boot sale or on the internet
- Join www.freecycle.org and make offer your unwanted items to someone who can make use of them. You might pick up a great deal yourself too!
- Join Malvern Swap it - Flog it web group if you live in the Malvern District
- Join the eFREEko web site for more re-use options
