• Turning Trash to Treasure

You're a conscientious recycler? You try to purchase products made from recycled materials with as little packing as possible. You reuse whatever you can, and only use what you need. But what about those old records or that toaster oven. That you don't need anymore? What about that expired car battery and the carpet scraps out in the garage? Need some help on these tricky questions?

Here you will find creative tips on how to reduce your waste. You will also find a directory of facilities that will reuse or recycle many of your household items. You'll see how one person's trash maybe a valuable resource to someone else. By working together we can turn our trash into treasure.
