You can often reuse items which will cut down on items that go into our landfills but sometimes it is not possible to reuse the items for their original intent. That is when you have to repurpose them. Here are some ideas for repurposing:1. Wash plastic storage bags with hot soapy water and use them again. This is one of the biggest areas of waste which could easily be repurposed. of course, do not reuse bags that have contained raw meat.
2. Reuse paper that has been used on only one side. Turn the paper over and print on the back side for rough drafts or use as memo pads or for grocery lists, etc.
3. Use empty glass jars as containers in the garage, workshop, or in your workplace.
4. Use gift bags again and cut down gift cards to use as gift tags.
5. Turn small plastic containers into garden traps by placing them in garden and filling then with beer. This is an excellent way to lure harmful pests like slugs.
6. Cut old worn clothing into dust rags for dusting, cleaning or washing.
7. Use newspapers, magazines or junk mail as liners in your cat litter box instead of purchasing liners from the store.
