What do you do with the stuff you throw away?

Well when it comes to bottles and plastic I like to recycle them.It only takes a few minutes and its alittle chump change to buy candy or whatever with.When i was a kid people used to take the soda caps and make games with them.

I would want to give them to people who collect broken things to be sold as junk, but I rarely home before night fall. So I just put them next to the garbage bin, hoping they will pick them up.

I save the cd's, even the free ones that different companies give out. There are places online that talk about crafting with them, and yes, I agree, they help scare the birds away. I think if the birds start hitting their heads on our windows again I will have to put some out in front of the windows. I would like to make large outdoor tree ornaments from them as well. I take any plastic bottles to the recycling station. If the chemicals in those bottles is bad for us, it would be bad for birds, too. I had a bird feeder made from a milk jug, once. The possums chewed into it cause they wanted the seeds. If you have a garden, turn the bottles upside down. Put a hole in the bottom so you can put water in it. Take the lid off, or put holes in it.Bury it half way, and fill it with water for your veggies and flowers. Cut bottoms of 2 liters to make saucers for plants to keep them from dripping. I have seen gorgeous butterfly creatures made from plastic bottles.

I love researching online on ways to recycle items i dont use anymore. like turn the into a lamp, or art decors. I like it to have a function, not mere decoration. Personally, i donate or give away a lot of my CDs and DVDs. But i leave a bit to use as candle holder, paper plate weight. Some even use them as bike reflector. I use shoebox, and other cartons, redecorate them to match the my room's theme and use them as containers. One of the biggest Mall in the city have this monthly recycle program when u can leave some old stuff and they will recycle it for you. Online sites gives me a lot of ideas on how to reuse and recycle items i would have otherwise throw away in the trash can.

In our country, we can always sell the old stuff specially the plastic stuffs. CDs and DVDs are those things that you can't really recycle (be reused for its main purpose. The best thing I do to those is to use it as decor. Most of time during xmas time. As much as possible I don't want to throw things out easily, I spend time to think if I really need it or I may need it in the future.

hi, actually we sell those cd or dvds and even those plastic bottles in the junk shops,those junk shops is responsible to sell that in factory to recycle and use again.

I love worn out VCD's or DVD's but I prefer the VCD types to hang in the tree outside our house in the province, I also hang the used water bottles, taking out the plastic or paper cover and fill it up with colored water...I have made wind chimes out of shells and my worn out hair bands...I love to recycle!!!
