For the most part, recycling is pretty straight forward. We know to clean out our jars, peel off labels, and, depending on your county, separate glass. But for some items it’s really hard to tell. What are you supposed to do with that old can of paint in your garage? What about batteries or even old electronics? We’ve put together of list of those perplexing products for our local friends. And if you are not local and have questions, we highly recommend the website earth911.com to find recycling options near you.
