You canwash it and reuse it every day.Recycle - instead of throwing an item in the garbage, to give it to aperson or company who will use it, or make something else with it.Example:Recycling your pop and food cansmeans there will be less trash in aresource recovery facility orlandfill.

Used household goods, clothes and toys can be reused and recycled.Household goods are furniture, dishes, silverware, glassware, linensand mattresses.Clean, usable household goods, clothes and toys can be donated to manyorganizations.

Depending upon where youlive, some organizations, like the Disabled Veterans and the Salvation Army, willcome to your home to pick up donations.Look in the Yellow Pages telephone book under “thrift shops” or “furniture used,”to find a place that takes donations. Some places only take furniture,others only clothes, or toys. Call ahead to find out if they will take your items.You can sell your clothes, and sometimes toys, on consignment. To sell onconsignment, you take the things you want to sell to a consignment store. Thestore does not pay you until after it sells your things. They will keep 20% to60% of the sale price. To find a store that will sell your things, look in the YellowPages telephone book under “clothing consignment for resale.” Call them first,to find out if they are able to take your things, before bringing your items in.You can sell things yourself at a garage sale. It is a good idea to go to a fewgarage sales first to see how they are handled. A few days before the garagesale, take all of the items you no longer need, and set them up neatly in thegarage. Be sure to mark the sale price that you want for each item. It is a goodidea to put an ad in the paper that will tell other people the day, date, and timeof your sale. You will have to pay for the ad. Put some signs on the streetsnear your home, so the people who are driving by will know about your sale.You can also sell used items through the want ads in your local newspaper.
