Earth Day Is The Perfect Time For Recycling And Donating

Golden, Colo. (I-Newswire) April 19, 2011 - What better time than Earth Day, on April 22, to recycle and donate clutter?

“Just about everything can be recycled or reused,” says professional organizer Sally Allen. “It’s a matter of finding the right place for electronic items, clothing, tires and just about anything else that is no longer needed and taking up space.”

When Allen, CEO of Golden, Colo.-based A Place For Everything, clears clutter from clients' home and offices, she always deems the landfill as the destination of last resort

In celebration of Earth Day, Allen shares her go-to Websites for recyclers and charities, including one that even pays for gadgets like cell phones and laptops:

www.metechrecycling.com - Electronics recycling and certified data destruction for just about any item such as computers, microwaves, cameras and TVs. Consumers can now bring up to five Sony products to any Metech Recycling location, and Sony covers the costs to recycle them.

www.Gazelle.com - Get cash for gadgets. A re-commerce service that helps people sell and recycle used electronics. Cell phones and laptops among more than 250,000 products it accepts.

www.Earth911.com - An easy-to-use online recycling directory. Just search by entering the item to recycle and your ZIP code. Or call 1-800-CLEANUP. There's also a free iPhone App (iRecyle). The directory was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show and syndicated by National Geographic and others.

www.donate.goodwill.org - The Web site has an easy way to locate nearby Goodwill donation sites, and a nifty tool that calculates the impact of your donation. For example, donating a coat or jacket provides 11 minutes of career counseling.

www.batteriesplus.com - When batteries are recycled, there is less waste in landfills and fewer harmful chemicals to contaminate soil and water. Check out the Website’s recycling section to learn how plastic, lead and sodium sulfate in batteries are repurposed – and where to recycle your batteries.
