   Try searching for Auto Parts on our site, then be sure to call ahead to see if they'll take that particular piece

   Hi Deb, Did you try the green search box at the top of this page? Just type in what you have and where you live, and if there are programs nearby (or perhaps a mail-back option) you can get the info! Thanks!

    Hey Sparkles! That would be a good question to ask your local HHW (Household Hazardous Waste) facility, click here for info: http://search.earth911.com/?what=HHW

    Thanks, Jennifer. No one lists butane other than in industrial quantities. I'll have to fu on some of the links on Earth911. Thanks for the ideas.

   Earth’s 911 mentioned in the most recent newsletter that plastic bottle caps can be recycled. As the local recycling coordinator Newton County, I’d like to check into recycling bottle caps from our community. Does anyone know of a company that takes them? Obviously, according to Earth’s 911, there is one but I can’t seem to find it.

   Hi Connie,
   Actually, we recently covered a story on Aveda’s cap recycling program, which you can find here. The program looks like it might be right up your alley!
   Thanks,
   Jennifer

    I have been trying to find a place in the Atlanta area that recycles different grades of plastic like plastic from fax machines, electric scooters, empty cases for like a skill saw and other grades of heavy plastic. Any one know of a location then email me at charlie_30078@yahoo.com and put in the subject line recycle.
