Everyone is talking about going green and going green means many things. One big item is recycling and often the biggest hurdle to recycling is … where do you take things to make sure they get recycled properly. There is a fantastic website, www.Earth911.com, to help you find almost any type of recycling help you can imagine.
So even if your town doesn't have it's own recycling center, there are still places where you can get help and it's easy. Remember to recycle paper and cardboard, plastic and glass, aluminum, steel and copper, computers, printers and cell phones, rechargeable batteries and CFL lightbulbs. Oops, don't forget about recycling food scraps and yard debris which might only need to find their way to your backyard.

… hope you had fun looking for me, and that you'll use the recycling information shared in this article.
Having this info available in one place is so convenient. I tried it for “computers” and got 70 places that recycle computers, all in southern NH. This is a big help to my de-cluttering efforts.
