Please Recycle ~ Give-Away!

Recycling has been a part of my daily trash making for a few years now. In my pantry I have a burlap bag that I use to put items in that can be recycled that would have normally been thrown in the trash. It makes me feel good that I am doing my part in keeping items out of our landfills that can be put to other uses and not harming our environment. If you live in White House, TN or around here or maybe even shop here you have the easiest way to recycle in our area! There are at least 9 bins scattered about White House where you can take your recyclables. Four of which are located at Wal-Mart and I know you go to Wal-Mart! During the week I deposit my items in my recycle bag and the day before I know I'll be doing my shopping I'll put it in my car and empty them into the bins as soon as I pull into the parking lot. It's that easy folks.


Another high point of recycling in our area is that you don't have to separate your items! That takes a load off! There are restrictions as to what you can put in the bins and I would advise you rinse out items that have had food in them to keep the bugs down. Even if you recycle the things on their list you are doing a huge part!


I know there are a lot of you that do not recycle for whatever reason. That's why I have handmade my give-away recycle bag! It's a red burlap bag with sturdy handles that you can fill and dump over and over with all your recyclable goods! You can register to win this bag by sending me an email at www.peppysis1973@yahoo.com . Include your name and phone number (if you're local)in your email. Even if you aren't a resident of our area or you already recycle and want this cool bag to keep using for recycling you can register! I will collect all the names and have a drawing August 17Th, 2009 which is two weeks from today. How Exciting!!

  1. we were just outside nashville in madison, tn. no recycling there. I brought everything recycled that we used home with us. I love our three curbside bins- they're 18"x 30" and we fill all three every week. Great bag!

  3. We love to recycle!! Yah! We reduce what we purchase, reuse what we can, and give away/recycle/burn what's left. We compost the food and garden leftovers, and at the end of the month we have about 1 bag of garbage for the trash men versus the 1 bag a day we used to have... Not only do we save on trash bags and cleaner, but that's one less chore at the end of the day!
