What you Didn't Know About Recycling

If it seems too expensive to just throw away, it probably is. Many of the broken or outdated items in your home can still be saved somehow. Cell phones, eyeglasses, and even old appliances can avoid the dump if you recycle them. The best way to recycle old goods that still work is to donate them to local organizations that can give them to people that need them. But other recycling services will make use of your items, even if they aren’t usable. Recyclemycellphone.org is a good place to start. They’ll find a home for your outdated ce... Read More >>>

Too many of us get caught up in our own lives and leave the heavy housework for the last minute. But even when you fall behind, remembering a few quick tips will get your house looking cleaner, faster.

Start with trash and dishes. Walk around with a bag to pick up miscellaneous wrappers, bottles, or paper, while collecting dishes as you go.
