MANAGEMENT

Manage your waste; trust us it will help you out.

Reusability:

One time use product are not meant to last, so try something that will last a few usages.

We have to make the effort to transition from the disposable mentality and when purchasing products think of how you can reuse it, either as the way it is intended to or find a new way to use it. Ask yourself how do you really need and think about what you are buying before you buy.

Donate:

You may not need it but someone else may want to use it.

There are countless non and for profit organizations that take old products that you may no longer use and provide them to people and families who need them. Instead of contributing to the ever-increasing ground waste that we produce, donating is an excellent way to circulate usable products rather than leaving them to sit in a landfill.

Compost:

Want extra soil for your plants, composting will help make that happen.
