  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    Our ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors, including market demand for recyclables. 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?

    I really like the idea of Terracycle where I can collect specific items I didn’t even think could be recycled, like different types of makeup dispensers, and I can collect them in a box I already have, then print a shipping label and send them off for recycling. It’s very easy! I hope one day the company for my water softener salt offers the same!
