Zero waste is more than just recycling.
By trying to only use things that can be reused, recycled or composted, as well as really thinking about what we buy, eat and drink it is possible to reduce the amount of rubbish that we produce.
There are many ways you can put out less rubbish for collection. You can look at our pages for great ideas about how to reduce food waste and reduce, reuse and recycle more. You can also find out about the benefits of using real nappies and composting.
If you don’t manage to achieve zero waste you’ll still find that you will reduce the amount you throw away, which is good for the environment.
