Where can I recycle aluminum cans for quarters or money in Reno or Sparks NV?
I have a lot of cans saved up, and I would like to get a little money for them because I just need to do laundry lol! But I have no idea where, if anywhere I can take them. Recycling trucks don’t pick up at my apartment complex, either.
Read MoreHow do you recycle your plastic shopping bags?
Reuse, reduce, recycle. For my family it’s become *the* mantra. This certainly applies to plastic shopping bags. Purchasing pre-made reusable shopping bags is super, but why throw away money when you can make your own with materials you’ve probably already got on hand? Yup, those plastic shopping bags!
The URL below gives just one example of how these can be recycled.

A friend turned me onto that page a few months ago. It was just the inspiration needed to get me exploring other possibilities for turning this type of landfill fodder into practical items. Since then I’ve made huge storage bags for my kids’ Legos, pouches for plastic lid storage (tacked inside cabinet doors- no more lid-palooza!), and other neat items. Maybe a laundry bag next? Who knows?
There are many ways to recycle plastic shopping bags besides crocheting. Tell us yours, thanks!
