Is styrafoam recyclable? Can I put it in the blue recycle pick up bin? Virginia Beach, Va.

You can take clean styrofoam peanuts in garbage bags (clear preferred) to your local pack-and-ship stores. I take mine to Ship-N-Mail 6525 Auburn Drive, Virginia Beach. The ladies there are always grateful to receive them for free.

How can “memory foam” mattresses be recycled?

I have been holding onto a lot of old household cleansers such as Lysol, Mr. Clean, Comet, bleach, etc. and for several months now, have been using homemade earth-friendly methods, or buying from companies I have researched that promise no animal testing or animal ingredients, and are earth-friendly. I want to clear out all of this horrible stuff from my cabinets, but I need to find a place I can take them so that they won’t end up back into the earth. I tried Earth 911, but they could not locate a place in Southside Hampton Roads Virginia (Chesapeake/Suffolk/Portsmouth preferably). Can anyone help me? Thanks! I’ve been meaning to look into this for quite some time. Mette

Where can I dispose or get rid of bottles of motor oil. I found 6 bottles, some opened, in my garage.

I think motor oil can be disposed of at your neighborhood auto mechanic shop. I think they are required to take it.

I would like for VA to make supermarkets have the self contained recycling bins to encourage recycling in VA. They have them in OR where you pay a deposit on your recyclable items and then in order to get your money back you have to use one of thes containers and then it prints out a receipt to use on your groceries or you can just get your cash back. I feel more people would recycle if this was done and it was more convinent. I have no idea how to go about getting this done. Any suggestions?

Where can I recycle my old mattress and box spring without paying a fortune to the trash people for an extra pick up (which I’m not sure they would do anyway)? There has to be a way to have some one pick it up, not everyone has a pickup truck at their disposal.

Does anyone know of a facility in SW Virginia that accepts burned out fluorescent tubes? I know the Whole Foods grocery store in Winston-Salem, NC accepts batteries, corks, and plastic items, but not sure where to take these tubes. Any help is appreciated.

Where can I recycle or dispose of my 46 inch HD tv? It’s not in working condition, I’ve posted to many sites for free, but no takers. So in this case, it needs to be out of my house, have no room.
Please help!
