I make the effort to reuse, recycle, and compost everything possible. However, I am stumped as to what to do with three items:

- Shorted-out earbuds - Are there any recyclers that would accept them, possibly separate the plastic, metal, foam, and the other components? Would it be fair to post them on Free'N Exchange for someone savvy enough to repair them?
- Net bags that apples and oranges are sold in - I have amassed probably two dozen of the non-plastic variety in the past few months.

How to reuse the container that hold consumer products
Description:
How to reuse the container that hold consumer products
I try to use some of the container that I have around the house as other items in order to prevent them from going into the trash. I want to create a large repository of people's experiences with re-purposing items to prevent them ending up in a landfill.

There are over 10,000 different kinds of plastic throughout the world, but only 5% of that plastic is recycled.

down.

Have you ever wondered what actually happens to recyclables after you toss them in the bin on the sidewalk, the truck picks it up on the curb, or you bring it down to your local recycling center? I know I have and I have complied this information after a large amount of research and reading. I hope it encourages or increases your desire to recycle!
There are a few different categories of what happens to recyclables. Same to same, same to different, same to lower quality of same, and same to basic components.

A raft build from over 15,000 plastic bottles set sail from Long Beach, CA yesterday with the intended destination of Hawaii. The trip is expected to last 6 weeks, and was planned to raise awareness around plastic pollution in the Pacific Ocean, a problem that has recently surfaced in the media. Due to ocean currents, a large area of plastic waste (twice the size of the United States) has collected in the Pacific. Some may say, "Out of sight, out of mind," but for anyone who has sailed through this area, the experience is quite sobering. » read more
