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. Ray Rd., takes 100% cotton denim, cotton linens, old clothes, shoes and handbags. They are open 7 am - 3 pm Monday-Friday and pay out 4 cents a pound. For details: (480)726-0001 or bondedlogic.com or unitedfibers.com. Crazy Crayons, Crayon Recycle Program, P.O. Box 772711, Steamboat Springs, CO 80477 takes old crayons (not ones made in China or other foreign countries, 'though). For details: crazycrayons.com. Wal-Mart stores or Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation, 3427 N. 32nd St. Phoenix take used glasses and hearing aids.

Bra Recyclers takes new & gently used bras with working straps (unsuitable bras will be sent to a textile recycling facility) and ships them out to needy women in 22 states and some foreign countries. Donate at valley locations or mail to 3317 S. Higley Rd. Suite 114-441, Gilbert, AZ 85297. For details: brarecycling.com. Here's a great way to clean out those closets and do a little Spring cleaning! Have fun!
