Get everyone involved

Unless you’re the only person in your household who deals with rubbish and recycling, getting your rubbish down to one bag a week might be difficult unless everyone’s on board.

So if you’re taking some of the steps we’ve recommended, such as having different containers for recycling and rubbish, it’s important that you let everyone know which materials should go into each container.

You’ll also need to make sure everyone gets into the habit of rinsing out their food packaging before recycling.
