There are many ways to reduce the amount of waste going into landfills. Some of these include reducing plastic use, increasing recycling, composting organic materials and reusing and repairing items where possible. Additionally one could look at using renewable forms of energy such as solar, wind or hydro power as opposed to relying on non-renewable sources. Another good idea is to buy in bulk and invest in products that use less packaging materials. Finally, one should also endeavour to make more informed purchasing decisions by taking into consideration a product's lifespan, maintainability and potential for parts and accessories that will extend its lifespan even further. Doing all this can help significantly reduce landfill waste over time.

One way to reduce the amount of waste going into landfills is to practice the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. To reduce, buy items with less packaging, or purchase in bulk when possible. Make use of reusable containers that can be washed and reused instead of buying single-use plastic containers. Recycle items that cannot be reused and try to avoid putting items in the trash that could potentially be recycled or repurposed for another use.
