At Home
We can all make a difference because the choices we make and the actions we take now will affect the way we will live in the future. Whether you are unsure about what recycling is and how to do it, or want to learn how to live more sustainably, GreenGC is here to help.
Around the House
Learn about ‘precycling’ and how you can help to reduce the amount of waste you generate in your home. Also, find out some green household cleaning tips on how to use natural products instead of chemicals to keep your home clean and smelling fresh and protect the environment at the same time.
In the Garden
Creating a more sustainable garden and doing your bit for the environment is easy for the keen home gardener. Although a drier climate and ongoing water restrictions present challenges, recycling food scraps and green garden waste can provide nutrient-rich compost for your garden and keep valuable resources out of landfill.
Waste avoidance and reduction
Whilst recycling is a great way to cut down the amount of waste going to landfill, find out how you can avoid generating waste in the first place and reduce the amount of material that you have to put in your bin.
