## Reducing the amount of waste produced by Shropshire

Recycling is just one way to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill sites. You can also reduce the amount of waste you produce by reusing items around your home.

**Before you throw an item away why not see if you could reuse it or repair it? For more information follow us on Twitter @shropshirewaste and like us on Facebook - Shropshire Waste.**

To make a real difference to our environment we work on the waste principles set out by [WRAP](http://www.wrap.org.uk/). These principles are

We work with the Shropshire Waste Partnership, the local community and voluntary organisations to meet these objectives.
