Things you should know about electronics recycling

Before throwing away items in your home our business, think
about how you can create jobs, save your local environment,
soils and ground water, create organic plant food, save space in
the landfills for items that have no way of being recycled.

Items that can be recycled, and where to take them

Try to see if you can find a use for these items around your own home.

For example: wood could be used for bird
houses, raised garden beds, compost bin. Windows can be turned
into a mini greenhouse, etc. You can also donate reusable items
