The main part of the contents of the bin, with high probability, accounts for food waste and related packaging.

• Before buying, think you need this thing or you want it only one at a time. Maybe the wiser thing to borrow or buy for a few people, especially for seasonal items (ski, lawn mower, etc.) . Think about all the things that the majority of the time without things stored in the basement.
• Give preference to sold by weight, not packaged product, which is often excessively packaged.
• Buying fruit, you can do one plastic bag, because a single packet can be pasted and a few stickers. Sometimes he does not need, eg. the sticker price can be pasted on a bunch of bananas.
• Sliced product — in recent years the convenience. When cutting food at home you will greatly reduce the waste of packaging. Did you know that the price cut goods in a quarter or half higher?
• Don't buy unnecessary products in large quantities. Consider that in the coming days you are going to cook. So there is less trash you have to throw away later.
• Give preference to goods which are sold and exchangeable fillers.
• As garbage bags use old plastic bags, save on special garbage bags.
• Sort packages and deliver into a container for packaging. So you will help the re-use of packaging and reduce the amount of waste deposited in landfills.
• Give preference to a product with environmental labelling in its production creates less waste.
• In portable electronic devices (flashlight, camera, Sidi player, etc.) instead of disposable batteries use rechargeable batteries — one battery can be recharged up to 1000 times!
• Instead of bottled water for drinking water use filters for the faucet or the filter-jugs.
• Before you throw something, think, can this be repaired, do something else, or to give to someone.
• Do not buy a new mobile phone, TV or other equipment just because the old model went out of fashion.
