Most all Headwaters recycling sites will have binnies for the following commodities – Mixed Paper, Mixed Glass, and Mixed Cans.

• Mixed Paper- Mixed paper bins can take Newspaper, Office Paper, Mail, and Magazines.

• Mixed Glass- You can put any color glass bottle into the glass binnie. Lids are NOT an issue. A quick rinse will reduce the number of bees attracted to the bin. Thanks!

• Mixed Cans- You can put either aluminum or steel cans in the can binnie. Again a quick rinse will help with the bees.

• Cardboard- Most small cities accept cardboard for recycling. Call your local city or county for more details. Please flatten your cardboard boxes.

• Batteries and Cell phones- You can recycle RECHARABLE batteries and cell phones at Radio Shacks, Home Depots, Staples, Wal-Marts and other locations you can look up at www.call2recycle.com.

• Computers-
  • Go to Cristina.org to recycle working computers to new users. Dead computers often are recycled by the manufacturer. Go to the manufacturer’s web site and see if they will take it back.
  • If you have a DELL branded product you can return it for no charge by going to their recycling page and following the instructions. I have used their service. All I had to do was package the computer, print a label and call for a pickup.
  • Staples has recently implemented a nationwide E-waste recycling program. For a $10 fee per unit you can recycle computers, monitors, printer and other consumer electronics. Call your local Staples for details.

• Car Batteries- Your county waste transfer station should be able to recycle dead car batteries. Most businesses that sell batteries will take your old battery when you buy a new one.

• Used Oil- Your county waste transfer station should be able to recycle used oil.

• For other items you want to recycle, go to earth911.org.
