What you can do with your THERMOMETERS / THERMOSTATS

Recycle: Call Complete Recycling Solutions (CRS) to schedule a pick-up for your mercury devices.




What you can do with your METAL POTS AND PANS

Donate/Recycle: Not all curbside recycling programs recycle metal pots and pans. These can be donated for reuse to the Salvation Army, Goodwill or thrift stores. Find out more about your municipal recycling program from the National Recycling Coalition.




What you can do with your TOOLS

Donate: Donate tools to your local Habitat for Humanity where they can be put to good use building affordable housing.




What you can do with your FURNITURE

Recycle: Freecycle is an international grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns. One person's trash is another person's treasure! Everything posted on Freecycle is free; individuals and groups work out their own bartering systems.  Sell it on Craig's List and you make the arrangements with the buyer for pick-up/drop-off.  Or if eBay is your seller of choice, consider using Mission Fish to support your favorite causes through trading on eBay. A portion of the profits go to a nonprofit of your choosing, and you get a tax deductible receipt! 




What you can do with your "I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD RECYCLE THAT!"

Don't give up on your stuff! There's a better option than the trash and we found it. Scroll through our list and find out how to recycle everything from makeup to eyeglasses, paint, light bulbs, and even your toothbrush.
