Consider listing items on an Internet site such as FreeCycle, and Craigslist, or in free classified ads and circulars. Before throwing it away, check with friends, relatives, and neighbors to see if they would like to have it. Give it away! If the item you have is still usable, chances are that there is someone else that could use it. Some alternatives to disposal that you should think about include:įix it! Can your item be repaired? If so, you will not have anything to dispose of, and you could save on replacement costs. There are many ways to reuse or recycle items that are no longer of use to us in our homes. As residents of Connecticut, reusing or recycling these items can reduce the amount and toxicity of the garbage that is disposed in our state. 'One person's trash is another person's treasure.'
