Responsible recycling is as close as your own driveway

(NC)Finding ways to divert harmful waste from our landfills is a constant concern for Canadians. Many times, we forget that recycling goes beyond household items and in fact spills into our driveways with some of the largest polluters out there our vehicles. While paper, metal cans, glass bottles and plastic are the most commonly recycled household items in Canada, vehicles can be recycled just as easily through Retire Your Ride, Canada's national vehicle recycling program.

Every day people send perfectly good natural insecticides and soil amendments to the landfill. Many of them are not gardeners and dont really realize the gold theyre throwing away, but some of them are gardeners who just have not yet discovered the beneficial properties contained in kitchen wastes. I, too, was a doubting Thomas until solid evidence made me a believer.
