Use the A-Z listing of everyday household items in this easy to use guideto see how you can recycle most of your unwanted things, do your bit for the planet, and maybe make a bit of money while you’re at it.

Did you know that:

• Around 60% of your rubbish can be recycled—but half of all the waste in the UK is sent to landfill, and only 11% is recycled

• Landfill sites are running out

• Recycling a one-metre stack of newspaper saves one tree

• It costs £332 million a year to clean up the litter on Britain’s streets

• A plastic vending cup can be made into a pencil or a pen

• You can make money recycling your aluminium cans

• 150 million plastic carrier bags are used in the UK each week —they can take up to 500 years to decay in landfill

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is packed with ideas for cutting your consumption, reducing your rubbish, reusing, and recycling. It will also tell you where your old plastic goes to, what happens to your old glass jars, how they handle waste in other countries.

With a comprehensive resources section and information on getting more involved, it's an invaluable guide for anyone who wants to slim their bin and help stop the earth going to waste.
