New for the year 2001 is the Non-Residential Waste Reduction Activity. This activity is set up to assist businesses in reducing their waste through reuse, recycling or waste exchange programs. Poster by Kerry Kohler, Carrollton High School-1999 Reusing Reusing simply means to use your discarded packaging in some other way. If possible, fix items that are durable instead of throwing them away. Send outgrown clothing to places like the Goodwill or the Salvation Army where they will be used again or recycled into rug padding, new rags, or other items.
Garage sales are also good places to go to practice the art of reusing.
Precycling Precycling involves thinking ahead of time when you purchase items. Find out prior to shopping and choose your purchases carefully. If you do this, you will minimize the amount of waste that you have every week. Buying in bulk will also cut down on your packaging. Recycle it if it's metal.
