My One for the Month

On Tuesday, Dan and I gave a whole bunch of our clothes to the Salvation Army.
We also went to the Computer recycle center in Santa Rosa and dropped off some old printers.
We did send a few computer monitors to the dump in Petaluma. They take them for free and recycle them to. We still have a few more monitors left. On our next trip we will take them to the Computer recycle place. I also donated a few pots and pans too.
We both feel happy to help out other people who need clothes more than us. Plus, it created space in our garage.

Old Phonebook

Yes they can go in the blue can. I had to look it up, thought I'd pass it on to save you the trouble- in case you didn't know.

second life use

Another little thing I do is try to give envelopes and other paper a second life before the recycle bin. I use the envelopes from bills and such, plus the backs of flyers or other papers received in the mail (that do not have personal info on them) as shopping lists and other note making uses. Gives them a second use before heading to recycle. Also, I will turn printed-on paper over in the printer if the item I am printing is just for my use and get a second use of the sheet. (saves me on printing paper, too!) I'll feel even better about this practice once I restock my paper supply with 100% recycled! :-)
