Stuff - what’s the big deal? 

Throwing away so much stuff has a huge impact on our city, is harmful for local wildlife and it can be a waste of money too. Although we can recycle lots of things in Leeds, the best thing you can do is reduce the amount you waste in the first place.

Many of the things we throw away could be useful to someone else or could be recycled into something new. As the saying goes, "one person’s trash is another person’s treasure"!  There are simple things we can all do to better manage our stuff. We can #LeedsByExample by throwing away less, switching to reusable items where we can, and recycling more.
