Read MoreHow do I recycle my used home computers?
Hi I have about 5 old computer systems, 5 monitors, keyboards, mice and cords. I’ve heard it is not good to throw them in the trash and would like to know how I can dispose of them. I’ve heard there are recyclers. I live in Illinois in a Chicago suburb of DuPage County. I would like to drop this stuff off somewhere, and get rid of it for FREE or as cheaply as possible. Any advice? Thanks all
These computers are complete garbage, half the stuff is missing or not working, some of the monitors work some don’t. I just want to unload them quick, I don’t have time to sell or ship etc..
What is the best way to dispose of, or recycle dead batteries ?
I recently took all of my dead batteries to a "Batteries Plus" franchise because last time I was there I saw a bin where you could throw out used batteries (assuming they recycled them somehow.) However this time I didn’t see that bin, so I asked the gentleman working there and he said nowadays you can just throw them out in your regular garbage. I find this EXTREMELY hard to believe. Is there any truth to this ??? Or is there a better way to responsibly recycle them ???
Read MoreIs it illegal to throw a banana peel out the window of a car?
I usually don’t throw garbage out the window of a car but banana peels are the one exception I’ve made in the past… Someone had convinced me that it was ok since they are biodegradable but now that I think about it, a lot of things are biodegradable…
So, I’m guessing the answer is yes but I’d just like to verify…
Throwing banana peels out the window of a car, on the ground, or someplace public other than a trash can is littering, correct?

What do you think is the most important environmental problem that affects coastal environment and their watersheds? Why? How would you solve the problem?
This is not a question for school or anything. Just my own thoughts.
My answer to this question would have to be about the littering that goes into the ocean. As the tide washes ashore, I feel that more and more garbage comes with it. Last week, I managed to find some underwear that washed ashore and I was thoroughly disgusted!
What do you think?
