Recycling is the best thing to do. But also people need to think about paperless billing, not buying water bottles but instead getting filters like purina to use instead. Also, buy more fresh fruits so its not all packaged food. Plus the best thing to do is instead of buying tuberware containers use what you already have - old butter tubs, etc.

lichee__china also to reuse plastic containers for other uses around your
home than what they were originally for. plastic containers can be used'
to store things like rice,or cereal, dry foods like chips etc.
also take your plastic containers and glass containers to recycle plants
so they can be used for making other things. There should be bins for
people to dump their recylable things so it is easier to do, and people
will then come and use the bins.

1. Use cloth bags which is reusable and stop using plastic bags which reduces lots of cover wastage.
2. use degradable vegetable/fruit waste as a manure to plants in your garden.
3.Use the waste papers as cleaning papers. Paper can be used to clean many delicate things like glasses etc..

we can crumple those plastic container to make them smaller in size, the organic and inorganic waste disposal is very useful since we can decompose the materials very well and dispose of those plastic and non decomposing garbage in a safer way once they are separated
