and can be reused. Consider minimising<br />
the use of products which cannot easily<br />
be reused or recycled. Using screws<br />
instead of nails makes things easier<br />
<strong>to</strong> reuse!<br />
REUSE For DIY projects at home<br />
consider either repairing items you<br />
already have or using reclaimed<br />
timber or salvaged materials. Visit<br />
www.smartwaste.co.uk or<br />
www.salvo.co.uk <strong>to</strong> search for<br />
reclaimed building products and salvage<br />
yards in your area.<br />
Wood that cannot be reused and inert<br />
materials such as rubble, bricks and soil<br />
can be taken <strong>to</strong> the Recycling Centres.<br />
If you purchase virgin wood look<br />
for the Forestry Stewardship<br />
<strong>Council</strong> stamp <strong>to</strong> ensure the wood has<br />
come from sustainably managed forests.<br />

REDUCE Hire or borrow films from video<br />
rental shops, libraries or friends. Start a<br />
lending library at school or work <strong>to</strong> allow<br />
you <strong>to</strong> share with other people. Films can<br />
be downloaded on<strong>to</strong> recordable DVD’s<br />
or purchased via “pay-per-view” <strong>to</strong> help<br />
avoid unnecessary packaging.<br />
REUSE Blank videotapes can be reused<br />
<strong>to</strong> record programmes/films many times<br />
without wearing out. Donate unwanted<br />
films <strong>to</strong> charity shops and consider<br />
buying second-hand. Trade your<br />
unwanted DVD’s and videos at hire<br />
shops such as Blockbuster, who will buy<br />
used films.<br />
RECYCLE You can recycle DVD’s by<br />
sending them <strong>to</strong> Polymer Reprocessors.<br />

Egg boxes<br />
REDUCE Buy eggs in cardboard boxes<br />
rather than plastic or polystyrene which<br />
cannot be recycled.<br />
REUSE Reuse egg boxes when<br />
purchasing eggs from shops or markets<br />
that sell eggs loose. Cardboard egg<br />
boxes can be used as seed pots and then<br />
planted directly in<strong>to</strong> the garden. See also<br />
arts and crafts materials.<br />
RECYCLE Cardboard egg boxes can be<br />
recycled via the Cardboard point at the<br />
Recycling Centres and some Recycling<br />
Points throughout <strong>Angus</strong> (see p.45).<br />
