Despite the warning label on batteries, household cleaners, and other various items, many people still throw things out that they aren’t supposed to. These items then end up in the landfills, their toxins seeping into our drinking water and evaporating into the air. Not good! So instead of throwing out these things, why not find a recycling center near you? Earth911.com is a great resource for finding places to dispose of these items. It allows you to type in what you would like to recycle and finds the nearest recycling center for that specific item. I was surprised to find that there were so many of these places that would recycle my old stuff! Here is a small list of things that you should find a special recycling center for:

• Batteries
• Light Bulbs
• Household Cleaners
• Medicine
• Gasoline
• Paint and paint thinners
