Every Friday in the home/living section, there is a list of items that people would like to give away for free, knowing that it won't choke the landfill. We actually had our 10 year old hot tub removed for free by checking out the "PIO" location on the Dallas Morning News website. We were happy, they were happy.

If your dry cleaner doesn't accept them, there is surely another one that will.

Good luck and keep recycling! I have been doing it now for nearly 15 years. I have been known to go through the "black bag" to fetch items that should be in the "blue bag". At least I feel like I'm doing my part to save the environment.

Sure wish others would feel the same way.

Peace,
Amy
