    Hey Lisa, Did you try the green search box at the top of this page? You can just type in Cooking and your ZIP, and if there's something nearby, you'll find it there! Although, you might want to call ahead because sometimes recyclers are only looking for industrial quantities. Thanks!

    I operate a non profit that recycles broken or unwanted appliances,bicycles, lawn furniture, old wire and extension cords, pots and pans and other recyclables. We use the proceeds from recycling to fund illegal dump clean-ups. If you have donations they are tax de-ductible. You may email me at pkokinda@gmail.com to schedule a pick-up. Thanks and God bless!

    P.S. As an additional note I have been in recycling for several years. i have not found a place that takes rybber in the Kentucky area. As for the plastic bottles there is a place in Lexington that accepts them. Montgomery Recycling on north limestone.

    We use tons of styrofoam trays, and they get thrown away in the landfill. Any ideas on re-cycling or using them? Thanks, Sean Detisch
