This week’s green challenge is to find something new to recycle. Fortunately, we really do not send that much out in the trash anymore, so I am not quite sure where to go and thought I might try and ask my readers for any suggestions. I am going to list some of the garbage items we throw away and am looking for any advice you may have.
Bones – Generally, these are chicken bones, as we do not eat that much meat. Also, we compost quite a bit of our food waste, but we are not supposed to put bones in our NatureMill composter. Any ideas you could provide on how to recycle this would be appreciated. I live right across the street from a river… I wonder if it would be environmentally friendly to toss them in the river.
Egg Cartons – We get our egg cartons from the store and I do not believe that these are recyclable in our area. I wonder if there is a way that I can use these or if someone else can use these.
Certain Containers- We use some containers that we just cannot recycle and cannot find a good use for. Most of these are raisin packages and frozen yogurt containers.
Plastic Milk Containers – What to do with these suckers? We keep our green tea containers for certain things, but is there any use for the gallon milk jugs that you can think of?
