So much more than what goes in your neighborhood bin can be recycled.  For example, my J&J location has on-site collections for batteries, and through a partnership with TerraCycle®, there are collection boxes for plastic toiletries bottles, small electronics, and writing utensils.  My son’s school has a collection for used foil juice packs.  A local organic market is runs a denim collection event to recycle old jeans into home insulation.  Even consigning (or donating) your kids’ outgrown clothes and toys can count as recycling.
