REUSE: to repair, donate or remodel instead of discarding; and to buy used products instead of new.


Useful tips to help you practice reuse:

  • Use rechargeable batteries
  • Extend the life of used items through resale stores, garage sales and donations
  • Select products with longer warranty periods
  • Find other uses for used, consumable goods.



If you're done with it and don't want to reuse it, you can donate or sell it. Here's a list of Wabash County resale shops (call first to make sure the location will accept your items):
