  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Find Local Recycling Depots
    Our ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors, including market demand for recyclables. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?

    Earth911 is good for finding local drop off sites for batteries and electronics. If you buy the same types of consumer products over and over (like shampoo, etc.), check out Terracycle to see if there is a packaging return program. Some are free and just require signing up for an account. If you use contact lens, some eye doctors have return services for the lens and the plastic packaging!
