    Thank you for making us all aware of more recycling opportunities. Education is the key to a greener future. I will apply what I have learned here.

    You've got so many good ideas on your lenses! Great ideas here for getting rid of some of the "stuff" in our house that I didn't know how to get rid of (without putting in the trash).

    Keep on recycling!
  • Henry Aug 27, 2010 @ 4:34 pm | delete
    It is really cool to see what things can be used that are recycled plastics and stuff. They can be turned into carpets or other objects made of the same plastic and it really is amazing when you can renew a resource like that. www.realpagessites.com/whitehallcarpetcleaners
  • BodhidharmaCharma Aug 20, 2010 @ 2:38 pm | delete
    These are some great ideas! Also, many places are offering incentives to recycle your old electronics and may even pay you a small amount for bringing them in. I'll be looking for more of your lenses!

    Excellent lens with great advice and suggestions! We still donate our computers, but we simply remove the hard drive first. We keep the hard drive, so we never have to worry about it and we donate everything else. I did not know you could recycle aerosol cans though. Awesome!

    This is a really good resource, I like having it all in one spot. I have a couple of recycling or reusing lenses I did a long time ago if you're interested, one is on Old Cell Phones and the other on Your Old Digital Camera if you have time to take a look.

    Great ideas for recycling.

    Often teachers need materials for projects as school. Ask your child's teacher if they need toilet paper tubes, wrapping paper and other items.

    Thank you especially for the tips on recycling computers.
  • Graceonline Dec 30, 2008 @ 8:24 am | delete
    Good tips, especially for recycling mattresses and cell phones. You may be interested in this article on recycling mattresses: http://www.enn.com/pollution/article/28112. (Not a Squidoo lens, and not related to anything I am doing; just an environmental article with useful informaiton.)

    Great information. I use plastic grocery bags to clean up dog poop. I know they are bad, but I feel a little better because I am at least using them more than once. Am I rationalizing? *****
