Recycling

I don't know how wide-spread this is but my local Radio Shack is no longer accepting batteries for recycling.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Now, what is the best alternative?  Home Depot, Lowes?

How many times have you found yourself staring vacantly at a yogurt tub, dry cleaner bag or empty bottle of salad dressing and thinking, “Hmmm… Can this go in the recycling bin?” I know I’ve been confused by all the different kinds of plastics used in food packaging. Which ones are recyclable? Well, the answer is: It depends -- on the type of plastic, as well as your city’s waste management practices. For sanity’s sake, let’s start with the varying types of plastics and how they differ

Plastic #1: Polyethylene Terephthalate (PETE)

When we recycle it really adds up. We reduce land fill overflows, reduce energy needed for new products and provide jobs for many people. What could be better than that ?

All products should be made with recycling in mind. I've read Honda does that better with their cars that other companies. The foods we eat also need to be packaged with bio-degradable materials. There is just so much poor material used today. Less is more.
