You can recycle THAT?

Recycling's easy, right? You chuck newspapers, cardboard and plastic bottles in those green recycle bins and take it out to the curb once a week. What else can you do?

Turns out, PLENTY. You can recycle more than you think -- if you know how. Everything from VHS tapes and computers to wire hangers and those little packing peanuts. This article explains how to recycle anything.

My favorites:
-- Dead smoke detectors can be sent back to the manufacturer.
-- Old eyeglasses can be refurbished and sent to developing countries.
-- Radio Shack and Home Depot will be happy to take your rechargeable batteries.

The winner:
You know those old CDs you got laying around? Hell, seems like half the stuff we listen to is recycled crap anyway. Just send them to ACT Recycling and a team of disabled employees will recycle and sell 'em under the GreenDisk label. Send your used media to: Alternative Community Training, 2200 Burlington, Columbia, MO 65202, (800) 359-4607.

Feel free to recycle this post too. Just send it along and it'll be good as new.
