Why Throw Away Your Old Electronics? Check Out These Other Options

Do you have a pile of obsolete (to you) electronic items: Old cell phones, computers, printers? Join the club. According to the EPA, Americans bought 438 million electronic products in 2009. That means millions of other electronic gadgets became obsolete. If everyone donated or recycled those: 2 million tons of waste would not hit our landfills. Visit the EPA to find out more about it epa.gov/ecycling.

What can you do to help? Check out these options

You Can Donate It - You don’t get very much on trade-ins anyway.

Every phone you donate provides an hour of talk time to soldiers serving overseas. Go to cellphonesforsoldiers.com to print a postage-paid shipping label.

Hopeline is free cellphones and airtime for victims of domestic violence. Visit verizonwireless.com/hopeline

National Cristina Foundation matches donated computers with schools and charities in 50 states, Canada and internationally. Go to Cristina.org to find out more.

You Can Recycle it:

Check out the EPA’s e-cycling partners at epa.gov/plugin.

And you can go to www.earth911.com key in your item and zip code to get the local recycling centers near you. (BTW-did you know that 13 billions pounds of paper towels are used in the US each year?)

Dell Reconnect and Goodwill work together to make donating more convenient. You can take your computer equipment (any brand in any condition) to a participating Goodwill Center. Check it out at ww.reconnectpartnership.com

You Might Try Trading It In

Some companies offer trade-in discounts (We got them when we bought new cell phones at Sprint).

You can ship your item for free or take it to the a Best Buy Trade-In Store for a gift card. Check out the trade-in locations on the website: www.bestbuytradein.com.

Amazon.com also gives you a credit in your account for sending in eligible electronics.

Staples - Trade in used ink cartridges (up to 10/month) and receive $2 each in Staples Rewards. Go to Staples.com for locations near you.

You can always sell it to someone. Check out Usell.com for pricing on used phones.

Just think how much healthier the earth and everything in it would be without all that waste.

A NEW Fire Extinguisher that could Save Your Family

Fri, 18 May 2012 10:26:21 -0700

Grease fires on a stove can be very dangerous if you do not know how to get them under control. PLEASE take a moment to read this post by Joan Cox as she talks about a new product that can make all the difference with fires.

Thanks Joan!

Via Joan Cox, Denver Real Estate-720-231-6373 (Metro Brokers - House to Home, Inc. - Denver Real Estate):

A NEW Fire Extinguisher that could Save Your Family

It is best to always have a fire extinguisher near the kitchen in the event cooking gets out of hand.     Grease fires are by far the most scary of all!      A normal reaction to a fire, is to spray water to put the fire out, but with grease fires, it makes the fire explode!

If you should experience a grease fire, the best way to put it out, is to get a lid and smother the flames in the pan for 20+ minutes until it is completely out.    If no lid is available, a cookie sheet, or any other metal will do to cover the fire.    DO NOT spray water on a grease fire, as using one cup of water creates 1700 cups of steam and creates enough heat & flames and will send a kitchen up in flames in minutes.

There is a new product on the market that detects fires, and is hidden until you need it!   StoveTop FireStop is a canister with a magnet that can be put under a hood or a microwave and be out of sight.      This product can be ordered through Lowe’s Commercial desk and will be delivered within 5 days.
