Green, Green, Green!

We have always been good recyclers. Recently we even volunteered to take the empty bottles and cans from a friend's party (a friend who is not a recycler!) home with us to put in the recycle bin.
So, it has always irked me that after a couple of years my computer, printer, fax machine, cell phone, palm, etc. are all useless and going to a landfill somewhere. We regularly donated some of our equipment to an organization locally that re-use some of our equipment. It's a great resource.

Drop-off from 10-3 M & W (they'll take PII and PIII machines, so you old lap top, printer, so on...).
We will continue to do that, of course, because re-use is even better than recycle. But I recently read about a program by the Costco organization.
It is called Costco Trade-in & Recycle Program and you may even get a few bucks for sending in your old equipment. Here is how you find it and use it.
Go to www.Costco.com, click on "Electronics" on the top part of the page, then click on "Trade-in & Recycle" on the left side of the page. Follow the easy instructions.
They also take MP3 players, game systems, monitors, etc.
Check it out and help our world stay GREEN!
