Reduce in recycling means before you send waste to recycle you do an assessment of the trash that you are throwing away. Often times after you really look hard at the trash your throwing, you can reduce the amount of trash by simply buying less, purchasing products that have less packaging or purchasing second hand products. By purchasing second hand, for example from a thrift store the packaging has already been disposed of thereby eliminating trash.

Another way to reduce trash is buy buying bulk, reusing plastic bags or even bringing canvas bags for shopping.

Reduce in reduce, reuse and recycle is the important first step.
