A while back I was looking for a place to take some old cans of bug spray, harsh cleaners, old paint, and computers; I'm slowly going chemical-free in my household, switching hazardous ones for natural cleaners (think hot water and elbow grease, vinegar, baking soda, lemons, etc). I didn't want to toss the chemicals down the drain or pour them onto the lawn, and I didn't want to throw the computers away. I found a great website, Earth911, where you can search by zip code for places to drop off almost anything- chemicals, e-waste, paper, scrap metal, light bulbs, construction waste, automotive waste- the list is endless.

Bookmark it, spread the word, and start getting rid of those nasty old chemicals and stuff that's clogging up your garage. If you want advice on alternatives to what you have, drop me a comment!
