reduction: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. But do you know about the other R

items is just one other way to decrease the amount of trash that ends
up in our landfills. Repairing items is becoming more popular with DIY
shows. The County has also compiled many reuse and repair ideas on Pinterest and YouTube that give easy-to-follow instructions on
how to repair many household items. It is easy to see why more people
are choosing to repair their items once they know the benefits of it.
