• Recycle – Your local recycling centres and points often accept a wider range of items than your kerbside scheme. You can find your nearest recycling centre or point on our Sort It website.
• Reuse – A wide range of items from books to bookcases can be reused. You can find reuse outlets (e.g. Charity shops and Furniture charities) on our Sort It website.
• Reduce – Why not go even further and try to reduce the amount of waste that you produce in the first place. Find out how by visiting the Reduce section of this website.
