All too often, there is a tendency just to put used, wornout, broken, depleted liquids, old chemicals, paints, motor additives, and useless items out with the trash, sometimes hiding the stuff which wouldn't be otherwise picked up by curbside collectors in other refuse. Instead of discarding it, recycle it -- even if you don't make a little money in the process, you'll be doing your part in halting the one-way movement of products made for our everyday use, while decreasing the need for every larger garbage dumps, and you mite even be able to take an income tax deduction on resaleable items.
