Reuse at home

Many items can be used repeatedly instead of being thrown away.

Some ways you can reuse items at home

turn your old T-shirt into a duster
reuse bags as many times as possible, or why not try a canvas or cotton bag instead?
buy or make labels to reuse envelopes and reuse paper for notes or shopping lists
buy and sell second hand items at car boot sales or jumble sales
why not organise ‘swap shops’ or 'swishing' parties to exchange things for free?
jam jars can make handy containers for all sorts of things e.g. buttons, paint brushes or even homemade jam or chutney
be crafty and creative, it is amazing what can be made from waste
wherever possible make repairs to damaged items
make money from your unwanted clutter, try adverts in your local shop or newspaper, often it's free to advertise
