1. Does where you live have regular doorstep rubbish collections or do you have to take your trash somewhere else?
2. Do you separate recycling? What sort of stuff gets recycled from your household?
3. Do you take things you don't need to charity shops, or give them away online, or sell them secondhand, or ...?
4. Do you pick up litter in your local area, from streets or trails or play areas or parks? Have you ever found anything interesting discarded or lost in a public space?
5. Are there "repair cafés" near you to help mend fixable items? Have you ever been helped by a community repair service or volunteered for one? Do you do any other kind of upcycling?

Date: 2025-08-28 07:34 pm (UTC)Yes, a blue trashcan outside my apartment I put my trash in.
2. Do you separate recycling? What sort of stuff gets recycled from your household?
I don't recycle and don't want to pay additional for it since it's way too time-consuming and consumes tons of other resources like water to wash dirty stuff out.
3. Do you take things you don't need to charity shops, or give them away online, or sell them secondhand, or ...?
I donate stuff to Goodwill occasionally and try to sell stuff that may have good value on eBay and Mercari, but few bites on that recently.
4. Do you pick up litter in your local area, from streets or trails or play areas or parks? Have you ever found anything interesting discarded or lost in a public space?
I occasionally pick up my neighbor's cigarette butts. I'm a smoker myself but am better in that regard.
5. Are there "repair cafés" near you to help mend fixable items? Have you ever been helped by a community repair service or volunteered for one? Do you do any other kind of upcycling?
There may be a bike repair shop in my town but nothing else. But I haven't volunteered for any community repair stuff.
