  :) Keep wondering and recycle whatever you can! This is my website: www.freewebs.com/carefornature
• ALong with the obvious glass, aluminum, plastic and paper products, you can recycle/reuse food particles for compost.
  Motor oil, ink cartridges and batteries are probably the least common. Most household appliances, office equipment and vehicle parts are also recycable. I always recycle my plastic grocery bags, and try to remember my cloth shopping bag before I go to the store. every little bit helps....
• *I shred my junk mail and use it in my ompost pile.
  *I save the envelopes from unwanted advertisements and cut them down to save or send seeds in.
  *I reuse plastic ware until it %26#039;dies%26#039; or is beyond use.
  *I reuse traws until they break.
  *I save clothes that have hole or rips and embellish them, so they can still be worn.
  *When we have a drought selling our eggs, we boil them and feed them to the chickens or dogs.
  *I re-use the plastic wet-wipe containers to hold odds-n-ends or raft items.
  *I cut up unused paper at work to use for note pads, rather then buying them...this works great for those tear-away-a-day calendars that people have on their desks.
• Cell phones.
• Did you know CD%26#039;s (and their cases) and Nickel Cadmium batteries are recyclable? Other batteries (like Lithium batteries) are not recyclable, but need to be disposed of properly so nothing harmful pollutes. Many recycling centers can do that for you.
• This isn%26#039;t a way of PERMANENTLY recycling the plastic bags, such as ziplock bags, that you put sandwiches in, or the larger ones that hold a large amount of leftover something in the refrigerator. But it IS a way of making the plastic bag work for as many times as it will hold together!---and that should be many, many times of use! Just rinse out the bag or bags after you use it for (maybe) taking your lunch or some snack items, such as on a picnic. After rinsing %26amp; drying them (just prop them open with something small in your kitchen, and they will air-dry) then they%26#039;re ready to use another time! The same can be done with a good-size piece of aluminum foil. Buy just ONE roll of foil, and re-use the pieces, and you might be surprised how very long it lasts.
• Most people don%26#039;t realize that all batteries are recyclable along with motor oil.
