3. Electronic Media

As people continue to transition from CDs and DVDs to MP3s and other formats, many have unwanted electronic media. Unfortunately, these items can be difficult to recycle. CDs contain #7 plastic, while the cases consist of #6 plastic. The casing on cassettes is #5 plastic while the tape itself is #1. When possible, donate these items or else find a drop-off or mail-in recycling program.

  1. Hello

    Now that Cash for Clunkers has used up its funding I thought you might be interested in some information on car donation. Your readers can still donate a car right now and get a tax write off and help a charity. We also offer you a commission of $100 per car donation referral when you add a link to http://www.donatecarusa.com . All you do is add a link and we cut you a check. Call me or email for more information. It would be great to offer your readers the car donation option and for you to receive the usual $100 advertising share (instead of Google or the newspapers).
