“D”  DVDs, CD’s and Jewel Cases:  If your want to get rid of that Flash Dance or 80’s disco CD because the music just no longer does it for you any more, you can swap it for disc form another music lover at www.zunafish.com.  I f you just want to let it go and not worry about it ending up in a landfill, send it (along with DVD and jewel cases) to www.greendisk.com for recycling.

 

“E”  Empty metal Cans (cleaning products)  Cut off the metal ends of cans containing powdered cleansers, such as Ajax and Bon Ami, and put them in with other household metals.  Recycle the tubes as you would any other cardboard.

Many towns recycle food cans.  If yours does not you can find the nearest steel can recycle spot at  www.recycle-steel.org.   Make a day of it if you like…go to Boulder and to EcoCycle—they will take them.   By the way not necessary to take off the paper label.

Eyeglasses:  Plastic frames are not on the recycle list, but metal ones are.  Just drop them in the scrap metal bin.  Even better—help those who cannot afford eyeglasses..go to www.neweyesfortheneedy.com (sunglasses and plastic frames in good condition are welcome).  Your eye doctor may very well take them as will Lens Crafters.  Check out www.givethegiftofsight.org for another option.
