There was an article in Metro (London morning free paper) yesterday about a family in American whose waste for the year was one large jar-full.
Their mantra is refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, rot and in that order. They started by trying not even to have stuff to recycle but realised that was going too far and not practicable.
They have got a very simple home, which is easy to keep clean. But if I was able to get rid of the stuff that was cluttering up my home I probably wouldn't be me!
However, I have ordered the book* and look forward to reading it for tips.
