Home Depot kicks off nationwide CFL recycling program

This is great. A lot of people unfortunately will only recycle if it is easy or free; they won't take the time or effort to do their part. I think this was a needed step with the increase in CFLs entering our homes, so "tip of my hat" to Home Depot here.

Recycling and Cleaning

We are doing some cleaning around the house and we are attempting to recycle nearly everything we throw away during this cleaning. (BTW, we currently recycle glass, plastic, and newspaper/phone books, and we compost).

I know there are several good options out there for recycling old cell phones, but I thought this was especially easy. You print out this postage-paid label for a box, and throw your cell phones in the box. Its that easy! We are sending about 5 cell phones out on Monday.
