RedScare Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Will most dry cleaners take all these damn wire hangers I have? I hope so.They beg you to return them for recycling. It is one of their biggest expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escapee Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 One big recyling no-no is styrofoam. Nobody will take it. We used to have a business on Studewood and did lots of shipping. We got nice, strong boxes from Houston Aquatics, the pet/fish store on Shepherd. The only problem was.....live fish came in them, so they had styrofoam liners -- a box with a flat lid. I called everywhere trying to recycle these liners. To no avail.I put them out by the street hoping passersby would take/steal them. No luck. I had three 8 ft. stacks of them.Finally, I had a brainstorm. Just before the 4th of July on year, I put them back out with signs that said "Free Coolers." Gone in one day. Approach is everything.
