    Well this is great that CVS is helping with recycling. How about all the out dated medicines that are ending up in the ground water. Do they have any ideas on what to do with these?????
    Thanks Heidi

    Hello all, I just started my own Flooring Business and I am working on bringing my love for recycling into my job. I was wonder if anyone could direct me to a place in Rhode Island that recycles carpet and other flooring materials? I wish all the best and keep recycling. We are making a difference, just ask all your friends and those you know who now recycle because of you. Thank you for any help you can give me and for recycling.
