"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. " — Chief Seattle
Old T.V.'s, computers, printers, paint, cleaning agents, motor oil....
Are you storing trash in your home simply because you don't know how to dispose of it? Or because you're not sure when the collection will be? Rather than keeping a build-up of hazardous materials in your home, take a pro-active approach.
Go to your city or county website and look up their recycling program for a calendar of hazardous waste collection dates. Add all the dates to your own calendar. Putting the dates on your calendar will remind you when the event is coming up. Since they normally last all day, even if you notice it on the date you'll have time to find some things you can get rid of and get them out.
Goodwill and Staples have ongoing computer recycling programs, but check with your local stores first to see if they participate. Most do.
Here's a link to the Delaware County, PA site. If you don't know where to look for your local program, go to Earth911 to find out!
