To use an empty box, bag, bottle, jug, etc. as a receptacle for other trash before you actually throw it (and the trash) away.
Jim always got plastic bags at the grocery store so he could precycle them in his various small trash cans throughout the house.
I finished my 20 oz. carbonated beverage but still found myself overcome with thirst, so I precycled it by rinsing it and filling it with water.

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.

Signs at the UMBC dining hall on the tables. Shows a man holding up two cans (potentially with food in them, but one can't see the labels) staring directly at the camera/the viewer.
It supposedly means to buy things with less packaging. However, someone already invented a word for that "reduce", one of the 3 R's (the other two being reuse and recycle.)

Curbing the implusive urges of consumerism that bombard you everyday because you won't turn off the TV and stop getting brainwashed.
Precycle: Do you really need another fucking piece of crap from wallymart that will trash up the planet in 2 months when it breaks or do you think you MAY be able to live without it?
