Mission Recycling

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.

Not exactly trash...

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...
