REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Find Local Recycling DepotsOur ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?

We will have to start another recycling area in our house for those items and take trips as needed. I'm glad we are able to dispose of some of these items at our office too. Like batteries, its so nice having a convenient place to recycle them. -
