Tips from Twitter on how to reduce your trash

We asked our followers on Twitter to give us tips on how to reduce the amount of trash in a home. Here's what they said:

@small_town: For big items you can try freecycle.org instead of hauling them to the dump.

@renesugar: Use reusable cotton shopping bags instead of paper or plastic http://bit.ly/b3BHvd

@renesugar: Use automatic bill-pay and opt out of paper bills.

@renesugar: Filter water at home and use reusable container instead of buying bottled water.

@renesugar: Do your own cooking instead of using take-out in containers.

@renesugar: Mix ammonia with water in reusable spray bottle instead of buying commercial window & counter cleaners in plastic bottles.

@eBoxwood: Buy fewer pre-packaged and over-packaged foods. More fresh, more farmers market, and fewer shipped and processed foods!

@ErinPetrie: Reuse plastic produce bags to pick up after your pet :)

@gracearatea: Stop using paper and plastic products like plates, forks, and spoons. Use cloth napkins and RECYCLE!

@cabbiinc: Use the garbage disposal more
