The City offers a number of rental and ownership programs that ease financial burdens, make necessary repairs, and provide educational opportunities.

“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” is in order of importance. It is better to reduce than reuse; better to reuse than recycle. Reducing and reusing prevent the environmental impact of making new items.

It is one of the key recommendations in the Cambridge Zero Waste Master Plan.
