We can't do styrofoam or #6 plastics here but some places can. Look into your town's specific standards. https://www.recyclebycity.com is helpful here, if it doesn't cover your area try your city hall, 311, or town website. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=188463 2019-08-26T01:38:42 -05.00 Splain 17 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=188463 2019-08-26T00:25:22 -05.00 Splain 17
8:49 I used to collect and sell alumninum cans back in the day! BTW if you look carefully they goofed on Donnie's bandana!
5:46 I DO in fact use rechargeable batteries for my Wii remotes! Not to mention all the electronic devices that can easily be recharged nowadays! Even going as far back as the DS and GBA SP! Sure beats back in the ol' horse and buggy days of having to use up six AA's on a Game Gear or Nomad in just 4-5 hours(ish) and throwing all those batteries away (I don't think rechargable batteries had caught on nearly as much back then) and making Donatello mad at you!
5:12 Apparently United Way's Balloonfest '86 didn't get this memo (look it up)
0:56 I also use my grocery bags for little garbage bags and they're fantastic for doing kitty litter!

PS: And Dontatello also reminds us there that drug dealers (that cause mind pollution!) are dorks and to not even talk to them!

Many places give china money to take plastic and they were most likely trashing it. Very few places actually recycle plastic, it is just not cost effective.
Aluminum, precious metals, batteries, and the likes are the only cost effective items to recycle. Metal can be easily repurposed. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=188463 2019-08-23T19:48:37 -05.00 Splain 17 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=188463 2019-08-23T19:47:36 -05.00 Splain 17
Right now the recycling industry is having a bit of a shakeup. It's getting more and more expensive to recycle things when they should be getting cheaper, and that's causing towns to have to cut corners on recycling programs.

A lot of stuff right now is being sent to transfer stations, and then in some cases illegally shipped out of the country to poor developing nations who don't want it.

Basically, the only way to be ethical about recycling right now is to simply reduce the amount of waste you generate.

The "three R" motto, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle are meant to be taken IN THAT ORDER. Recycling is a last resort, first you reduce your consumption, reuse what you can, and recycle what you can't. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=188463 2019-08-23T19:34:09 -05.00 Splain 17 Originally posted by: Megamanfanfan
