How to Recycle Everything
Posted by LIME Team on May 30, 2007 - 3:39pm.
There’s more to recycling than melting down plastic soda bottles to make new plastic soda bottles. These days you can turn medicine bottles into life jackets and old running shoes into new playground surfacing. How's that for reincarnation?
There’s a better option than the trash, and we’ve found it. Discover how to recycle everything from packing peanuts to your wedding dress by scrolling through our guide to giving eyeglasses, paint, light bulbs, and even your toothbrush a new life.

I always recycle them, but these days, who needs them to begin with?

Good point. I try to buy products made from recycled products whenever possible, especially when going to the supermarket. Using your own shopping bags rather than the plastic ones available in store is also important.

Some good guides in there for recycling. I'd never had thought of being able to recycle the brushes on my toothbrush!

Yeah, I recycle a lot of stuff all the time. My waste footprint is tiny, especialy as I compost all organic waste for my garden!

It's not hard to see why DVD players have taken the video world by storm. All you have to do is watch a movie on DVD and then watch that same movie on VHS tape instead. The difference can be startling. So just as CDs took over the audio world, DVDs are dominant in the video world, and DVD players are a staple of the home entertainment center, and certainly of a home theater setup too.

Stephie you are spot on. It would be great if there was a relaible buying guide for everyday purchases that are either fully recycled or partly so.
I agree with you. Thanks for sharing

That is 110% True ....
I doubt that these mega-corporations have any real desire to become more green except under the veil of being environmentally conscience.

When you buy products made from recycled materials, you help conserve precious resources and eliminate waste from landfills.

Recycling saves natural resources and protects critical wildlife habitat by cutting down the drive to exploit virgin materials. Fewer trees will be cut and fewer minerals pulled destructively from the soil.

I totally agree with your opinion. Buying products made from recycled materials are to be bought.

I have only tried Mac makeup once, I love it! I didnt know that Mac traded in old used cartridges of makeup for new lipstick! They re-use all old cartridges.......That is awsome! I have found a new makeup that I will never be ashamed of using, its recyclable and that I love it!

Your recycling efforts have already made a huge difference. In 2009, the amount of household waste we recycled reached an impressive 18.7 million tonnes. That alone saved the same amount of CO2 that nearly a million return flights from London to Sydney would produce. Recycling makes a real difference so lets keep a good thing going

Wow,That sounds great.Remember every electronic item is a product of Ewaste and it is turned again into Ewaste after usage.
Recyclying has been a very useful concept and it help a lot in technology enhancements. Health Articles
So, instead of simply throwing your Christmas tree out for the garbage, do something to help the environment! You can get your tree shredded, which makes excellent mulch or even take it to a tree recycling drop-off center in your neighborhood
I like the idea of Recycling :) Thanks for article

It has been a long time that recycling has been introduced to the world and the use of recycling and it is sad to hear that 90 % of world is unaware of it.
Thank you.
Organic ClothingHey, Callen! These may be recycled in most fairly large communities. I've noted that if one lives in a separate suburb of a large city, or even in the zip code for such a suburb, one will receive, certainly unsolicited, many such smaller books for that suburb as well as several for the larger metro, and, your phone company's "authentic" one as well....
You're absolutely right that, with the web and mobile phones, we no longer need phone books except for those who seriously are tech-challenged and many elderly.
As for your question, I imagine, however, that the associated companies don't want the expense of managing who wants a phone book at a particular address (people often move), and then having predictable problems with minimum wage workers doing intelligent selective delivery: So they "blizzard"every residence with their particular spin on the phone book. (I've noted that Feist (Yellowbook)--yeah, a major offender here--also has Yellowbook available gratis at grocery stores here: That's a better solution than "blizzard" delivery....)
A closely related issue: Stupid unaddressed flyers in my mail: I tell people this sick joke: "Neither Moses, Jesus, nor Mohammed can stop those from coming!" I think most here would agree: Flyers, phonebooks, and most paper products are stupid remnant activities from our old traditional industrial economy that's dying so painfully now. Unfortunately, PCs have made producing and printing such items really easy, as well. (Maybe inevitable results from such irresponsible activities as deforestation and pollution will kill us first, however!)
Mom refrains again and again with this: Our postal service should charge such bulk mailers the same first class mail rates as we have to pay--our rates that keep increasing to subsidize bulk mailers who like to kill trees)--isn't raising their rates a very good and obvious, if stupidly belated, first step?
Politicians will attempt to trudge onward with tired First Amendment arguments and other arguments that such activities support business: Hey, that actually may induce their someone from that amoral community to hire someone--they're always correct, and, that's absolutely certain, riiiight?!
>> You're absolutely right that, with the web and mobile phones, we no longer need phone books except for those who seriously are tech-challenged and many elderly.
Not everyone is on the web, not everyone wants or needs a mobile phone.
>> subsidize bulk mailers who like to kill trees
1) You're assuming that you're subsidizing their rates. How do you know that it isn't the other way round?
2) A lot of printing paper nowadays is made from recycled materials or from replanted forests.
3) If you are on the computer or surf the web a lot, that means you are consuming a lot of electricity, which means somewhere up the line, you are responsible for the consumption of non-renewable energy (like oil, coal or uranium) and the production of greenhouse gasses (the refrigerants and coolants used by your ISPs and data centers which house the web sites you visit).

Don't diss business. If there's no business you won't have a job. Ultimately, the economics of business is very simple. Businesses make more of what people buy. If you buy more recycled paper products, businesses will make more recycled paper products. If you buy more gas-guzzling SUVs, businesses will make more gas-guzzling SUVs. So before you throw stones at someone else, make sure you are not living in a glass house.
Great question, Chris. I was talking about the near useless telephone book with a good friend just the other day.

I have a dvd player that has gone kaput on me and I need to know how to recycle it because it's pretty much just a pile of plastic and circuit boards...any suggestions??
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

OK. City has a federally-subsidized recycling facility that's usually open during the day, and, one may drop-off such items as this and old/broken PCs, and PC parts by showing a current utility bill stub, . Also, we have an "event" for such items about every three months. OK. City currently won't allow analog (traditonal "square" aspect CRT screen) TV recycling, however. (Waste Management company will recycle such TVs for 50 cents a pound--otherwise, OK. City says to leave such a TV at the curb for bulk pickup. This is something that I dislike about our society--too often, we are unwilling to face reality concerning such issues: We have to face this problem--it's on us now!)
I'm curious if certain major cities' recycling entities such as in LA, Denver, Chicago, Houston, and, NY do take old TVs yet. I think recycling and legal hazardous waste disposal should be federally run and owned, available 24 hours a day, and facilities should accept all relevant products without question or proof of residency....
