Using a wastebasket instead of the toilet for tissues and other bits of trash will save gallons of water that are otherwise wasted. Your dishwasher uses the same amount of water whether it is full or just partially full of dishes, so be sure to fill it.
Many dishwashers have a water saver cycle to save even more water.

If you need to use the garbage disposal, release the used sink water as the disposal is turned on.
