Avoid
Buy carefully and prevent unnecessary materials from becoming waste.
CITY WASTE encourages practical choices that prevent unnecessary waste, extend the useful life of suitable items and improve responsible disposal planning.

The best environmental result often starts before waste is created. Order carefully, maintain equipment, avoid unnecessary packaging and keep items in use for longer where safe and practical.
When material must be removed, identify it honestly, prevent leaks and contamination, and keep hazardous or controlled waste separate. CITY WASTE assesses the appropriate collection and disposal route for the actual stream.
