In some areas you can recycle phone books to be used for house insulation.

Yeah we definitely recycle ours--I just wish we could more effectively eliminate the energy and resources needed to create and recycle tens, if not a few hundred million, of them every year.

I find not direction in the readings of those with whom my eccentricities are similar, but rather validation.

My only solace is that I find a peaceful place where I might be resigned to my depriving loneliness.

Recycling is so variable. I have to drive mixed papers to the dump. Newspapers can go to the dump or in a Park and Ride lot. Steel and Aluminum they can pull from the garbage, or I can cash out at a grocery store nearby. Batteries can go to numerous stores--Walmart is one. Cel phones at Staples. EIther of these could go to the dump. Plastic bags (clear only) can go to local stores or the dump. I miss the one can for recycling that I had in the Bay Area. It really takes more planning this way, and I hate the dump. I should just go when a really bad cold blocks ALL smells.

Yes, I can recycle phone books. I just wish I only got one package...

Hi,

This is Melissa from GreenDimes. The cool thing about our service is that will almost all of your junk mail eliminated, you'll have less to recycle. It's true that a person could do it all for themselves, but it can be a lot of work and a lot of monitoring. Has anyone seen the car that runs on compressed air....check it out in our blog: http://blog.greendimes.com.

I'm wishing to cut down on all the electrons wasted with all the junk email I receive! Laugh
