Reusing involves the multiple use of a product, either for its original use or for an alternative.
If you can't prevent the waste in the first instance, how can it be reused? There are many schemes that reuse or refurbish goods like washing machines, furniture, plastic bags and wood.
You can also donate reusable household items by calling the National Re-use phone line on 0800 0665 820. It's a free collection service and you'll be benefiting your local community and charitable organisations by supporting employment and volunteering opportunities.
