"Yeah, You Can Recycle That"

Hi there, fellow bloggers!

I came across this article on Monday, 3-19-12 in the AZ Republic about recycling 4 unusual items (denim, crayons, eyeglasses & bras).  If you want to read the entire article I'm sure you can find it on the website at living.azcentral.com.  I'm so excited about it because now I know what to do with things that have been piling up around my house!  We're all used to recycling the usual things:  newspaper, junk mail, cans & bottles, but here are some more things we can recycle.  Bonded Logic in Chandler, 390 E.
