Don’t throw things away. Recycle them in the best and most appropriate way you can. That way, you’re not adding to landfill – and you might just make someone else’s day.

Did you know that Portsmouth residents produce enough rubbish to fill Fratton Park stadium every year.

What may be surplus to you may turn out to be essential to someone who is only down the street. Of course, you don’t know everyone down the street – let alone what they need at any point in time. But you could start taking your surplus furniture, toys, electronic equipment etc to your nearest recycling centre – which might be the place your neighbour is looking in as well.
