Spring Cleaning Issues Grandma Probably Never Dreamt Of

Even with advancements in curbside recycling programs, there are plenty of products such as batteries, cell phones, computers, packing peanuts and other items that you can't leave for pick-up -- leaving many to (however illegal or un-green) store them for dumping curbside during a city designated spring clean-up time. While such days mean you avoid the hassles and fees for taking problematic items to the dump, the items still end up in a landfill or worse.

If you want to recycle, check out Earth911.com. Their hotline, 1-800 CLEANUP, has recently been upgraded to simplify the ease of accessing information on recycling locations in your area and offering bilingual help for Spanish speaking folks. They also offer a free iPhone app, iRecycle.
