Help keep us Green!

As I have been working on cleaning out the house and garage, I’ve had a number of things I wished to throw away. I did wonder what the implications would be for our earth. I went online to find out. I came up with a short list of things that need to be recycled or donated.
Batteries- In many cases, batteries can be taken back to a store such as Home Depot, Best Buy, or Radio Shack for recycling. It’s important to keep these out of the landfill.
Electronics- Most of the same stores listed above will also take back things like mobile phones. You can also search for places to take computers, televisions, and cameras.
Motor Oil- Most gas stations will take used motor oil as well stores like Wal-Mart, Jiffy Lube, and AutoZone.
Paint- you’ll need to research for a place to take paint. It is important to find somewhere to bring it for proper disposal. So keep trying!
CFLs- these old bulbs can usually be taken to stores like IKEA or Home Depot.
I hope everyone will make an effort to make sure these items are disposed of properly. We really need to start making a greater effort to keep our earth green!
