Light bulb recycling
CFL bulbs (curly ones) have a small amount of mercury in them and should be disposed of properly. They are accepted at local hardware stores such as Home Depot and Lowe’s, and Batteries + Bulbs locations.
Florescent tubes should be taken to Hazardous Waste Days.
Medication Disposal
Medication must be taken out of bottles to dispose at your local police station; you should black out any personal information on the label and recycle the container. Many pharmacies will also take medication for disposal. You may also bring the medication to the church office. If bringing to church it does not necessarily have to be removed from the bottle.
Can this be recycled?
Questions of how to recycle almost everything, visit http://earth911.com. or go to RecycleChicken on Facebook, very interesting.
· Unfortunately, DTE and Consumers Power have suspended their appliance-recycling program to safely dispose of appliances, if replacing them, ask the company to take and recycle them.
· By checking Earth 911 at http://www.earth911.com/recycling-guide/how-to-recycle-large-appliances/, you can find the best way to recycle almost everything.
· Take action by writing letters to the editor and to your local legislators, or by attending local government meetings. Elected officials and media outlets have the power to influence the climate conversation. As a community, encourage them to take action.
· What will you do with your old electronics? Try Amazon’s Trade-in Program, where Amazon will take your old electronics and issue you Amazon Gift Cards. Gazelle is another company that will buy your used electronics and if you still have E-waste, take it to Best Buy for proper recycling of the items.
