Pass It On
Used doesn't mean useless. Call your Douglas County Waste Manager for a list of folks who can give your old computer or plastic packaging & peanuts new life.  

Have something you think someone else can use?  Check out our Materials Exchange.

Use Your Imagination
Before you recycle or trash something, think... "Can I use it again for the same thing or maybe for something else?" 

Make It Last
Maintain and repair products instead of replacing them. Newer isn't necessarily better. 

Charge It
Americans buy and trash 2 billion batteries a year. The solution? No, not pink bunnies. Rechargeables! 

Refill It
Choose reuseables over disposables. And reuse disposables if you can. Companies can reload single-use cameras and printer cartridges and they're cheaper.

Stuff It
Used jars, tubs, buckets, cans and bags make great containers. And, used cardboard boxes and plastic peanuts are ready-made for your own shipments. 

Give It Away
Your "trash" could be someone else's treasure, Donate used books, clothing, furniture, house wares, hardware, bikes and appliances. Or, have a yard sale! 

Rip It Up
If your used clothes are too worn to give away, tear them up for rags. And use other scrap materials for crafts and kid's projects.
