There are many times that the trash dumpsters are overflowing with trash, yet the dumpsters have many items in them that should be recycled. This is not only to help our environment, but also to allow plenty of room for all of the items that DO belong in the trash. The following items are recyclable and should be placed in the recycling dumpster, not the trash: Cardboard boxes - This means not only moving boxes, but also shoe boxes, cereal and cracker boxes and egg cartons – Please break these down flat and remove plastic (if they have it) prior to placing in the recycle bin. Aluminum and aerosol (empty) cans Glass bottles and jars Plastic bottles, jugs, and bags Soft cover catalogs, telephone books and newspapers Remember to never throw TV’s or computer monitors in the trash or recycling bins. These need to be disposed of at a local hazardous waste collection site, along with batteries, chemicals, old medications, and used oil.

Brisket with BBQ Sauce Personalize Your Space! When moving into an apartment, there are many ways to decorate your space, such as with family pictures, mirrors, and decorative art. But there is a way to decorate the blank walls to accentuate furniture or the windows that is inexpensive, fast, and easy to replace –wall vinyls. These vinyls come in not only contemporary, but traditional styles, allowing you to decorate your walls to suit your room’s theme or color scheme. Offered in hundreds of colors and images, there’s something for everyone, from famous or inspirational quotes to beautiful scenes or contemporary graphics. There are even chalkboard vinyls which are great for keeping track of your weekly plans. Water resistant vinyls are great for decorating in the kitchen or bathroom, and can even be placed on the mirrors or tiles. And since they are removable, when you get bored and want a change of decoration for the room, they simply peel off and can be replaced quickly and inexpensively – and no nail holes to fill. Check out www.wayfair.com, www.art.com, or www.allposters.com for ideas of how to bring a new look into your apartment home.
