There is this pile of stuff in the corner of my room, next to the trash can. Stuff that I'm done with, but I can't allow myself to just throw out. It's stuff that can either be reused or recycled, but it can't just be thrown in the regular recycling bin. For some of it, I know where it needs to go; I just need to take it there. For some of it, I need to do a little research to find out where I can take it.
Which brings me to "Mission Recycling." My plan is to blog about the items, one at a time, and my quest to find a new home for them.
They are:
- ratty pair of tennis shoes
- a bag of CDs and video tapes
- leftover disposable contacts from an old prescription
- a broken straightening iron
- a softball bag with my name and number embroidered on it
- several containers of leftover or expired pills
- a bottle of Nair
- the plaster and wood molds from my orthotics
- several heavy-duty locks (with their keys)
- the wood frame I took off a bulletin board
- an old pair of glasses, two glasses cases, and several sets of lenses
Wow, the list is actually a lot longer than I thought it was going to be. And I have a feeling that I'm going to make a fool of myself when I, for example, call the foot doctor and ask if they know of a good home for my orthotic molds. We'll see how it goes...
