It is important to recognize that the sustained
growth in reuse efforts, as well as the sustained interest of the reuse
industry, derives in large measure from the solid waste reduction
hierarchy: Reduce, Reuse, then Recycle. It is best to reduce first, reuse
as a second option, then to resort to recycling. Reuse is recognized as
being distinct from recycling, both in doctrine, and in the handling of
the materials this unique industry diverts from the waste stream.
Recyclers have successfully kept materials out of the landfill by
collecting, segregating, processing and manufacturing their collected
goods into new products. Reusers, on the other hand, with little or no
processing, keep materials out the waste stream by passing the goods they
collect on to others.
Keep overall budget in mind if debating the advantages and
disadvantages of buying a new car. Look beyond the sticker price when
weighing a new car cost--consider items such as insurance costs, which
are higher for a new car.
