Recycling Still Matters

By Chris Baskind in The Daily Footstep

With the economic downturn, there’s less demand for recycled materials these days. But that doesn’t mean it’s time to turn in your big green bin. Aluminum, for instance, remains a profitable concern. And there’s one category of goods that should never go in the trash: electronic devices. That fancy phone of yours is filled with all kinds of toxic substances which have no business in a landfill. See if the manufacturer offers a take-back program when it’s done, or seek out a local recycling center through Earth911.
