Start early donation bins available on Earth Day: April 22. Not only will you be reducing waste, you'll be helping others. Our mission Ditch the Dumpster diverts waste from the landfill, supports local non-profits. Instead of discarding unwanted appliances, tools or clothes, try selling or donating them. One person's trash is another person's treasure. Borrow, rent or share items that are used infrequently, like party decorations, tools or furniture.Maintain and repair products, like clothing, tires and appliances, so that they won't have to be thrown out and replaced as frequently.Learn about what else you can do at home, at school, at work and in your community!.Know what items your local recycling program collects and encourage your household to recycle right and recycle more. Check labels to see if a product or its packaging is made from recycled materials. Buy products made with recycled content.Donate unused clothing, electronics and building materials to make sure others can reuse them too! Donating useful items can dramatically cut down on the number of items you throw away as trash and help out your community in the process. Buy used items to reduce waste as well as the emissions created by producing new materials or disposing of them in landfills.Reuse or repurpose items such as old clothing, cloth grocery bags, and containers to prevent waste.Some areas may require that you bring your light fixture to an eWaste dump.

The most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place.
