made this for you | the future isn’t what it used to be

Doesn’t the title sound enticing? Earth911.com is a great resource to be able to find out how to recycle anything…and I mean anything.

Earth911 just asks you what you want to recycle and where you are located; and it does the rest.

Recently I was organizing my medications and realized that a lot of them had expired. People used to recommend flushing expired meds down the toilet to prevent children, pets, and others who might abuse them from getting access. It’s recently been discovered that water supplies have trace amounts of medications in them because of this; so flushing is no longer the recommended form of disposal. I wasn’t sure what to do with my meds, so I looked up online about how to properly dispose of them.  Within two clicks on Earth911,  I found some great resources on what to do.

Of note, Earth 911 also has a business arm as well. Their business site includes information on waste assessment, recycling, green purchasing, energy conservation, etc.

Earth 911 is a simple and effective resource for finding information on all sorts of ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. They are now the first place I check before throwing something in the trash; and if I question whether or not an item can be recycled.
