Got Clutter?

Over run with the clutter of unwanted, discarded, no longer loved items within your home? Don't have the time or desire to haul it off to your local goodwill center? Rather sleep on a bed of nails than organize a yard sale?

Whatever the case, here's a great solution for getting rid of stuff and giving it to someone else who can use it. Ever have something that you just hated to toss away but wanted to give it to someone who could use it more -- Here's your chance to recycle your no longer loved items for free. Join Freecycle.org.

Recycle Your Packaging Peanuts

In my household, June is typically the month for cleaning out the cellar of unwanted stuff. Attracted by free shipping offers and the thrill of a good bargain, it's was no surprise to discover what appears to be a gizillion boxes filled with packing peanuts (also known as "Flow-pak" - who knew?!) thrown into in every corner of my basement. Too many peanuts for me! I can re-use some packaging peanuts for my own shipping needs/storage needs;; My town's recycling center has no use for the material; My local gift shop retailer doesn't want them. What's an ordinary girl to do with all these peanuts? Recycle them, of course! I've discovered that you can drop the material off at a Peanut Hotline Collection location. To find the nearest collection site, call 1-800-828-2214 or visit the website http://www.loosefillpackaging.com/search/default.asp Happy Recycling!
