For instance, did you know that Crayons are recyclable? The National Crayon Recycle Program has drop-off bins nationwide and a mail-back option! New crayons are made from old, broken, tired crayons. Cool!
How about golf balls? Dixon Golf retail locations will accept used golf balls or you can mail them in for recycling. OnlyGolfBalls.com will buy old golf balls in bulk. There are places to buy recycled golf balls including LostGolfBalls.com. I'm not so sure I ever throw these away though. Usually they get lost somewhere off the fairway and someone else probably picks them up. I consider that recycling, or at least reusing!
There are quite of few things that could go in the compost pile that I didn't know about. Things like cotton balls and Q-tips, red wine, and human and pet hair. I even learned that there is a San Francisco company that makes human hair into booms that will soak up oil in case of a spill. Who knew!?
You can also recycle on vacation. We have bins down the road from the cabin and reuse or recycle enough that we have only one small bag of trash each week.
ReplyDeleteNow we are talking about a community compost bin up here since many of our neighbors garden.
