Reducing and reusing waste

Kent residents currently produce more than 800,000 tonnes of household waste every year, and this is increasing all the time. A lot of our waste can be recycled, however, we should reduce and reuse the waste we produce as a priority.

Kent County Council offers two services to help households reduce and reuse more of their waste.

As consumers, we can all decide to make small changes in what we buy and how we use products to drastically reduce our waste.
