Karen Neder wants your squeezed-out toothpaste tubes, your used-up glue sticks, and your old water filters. By pick-up, drive-by or drop off, she’ll take it all. Neder, of Rock Island, has been collecting what most would consider to be garbage from the bathroom, office and kitchen, and turning it into cash to support Blessed Beginnings Preschool at Trinity Lutheran Church, 1330 13th St., Moline. Neder says that with help from the Trinity Lutheran congregation, the collection efforts have raised more than $800 for the preschool and diverted 1,000 pounds of potential waste from landfills since 2014.

The drive down New York Avenue in Trenton is like any other drive down the back roads of one of Rider’s neighboring towns. Old, abandoned body shops line the streets and people linger, having conversations on front stoops. At the end of New York Avenue sits TerraCycle, a recycling company dedicated to making the earth a cleaner place by finding sustainable solutions for everyday products.

So you’ve hit pan on your favorite bronzer. Your Smashbox liquid lipstick tube is empty, and your mascara is all dried up because you’re too cheap to throw out very old drugstore mascara. Obviously, the next step would be to take your trusty debit card to Sephora and replenish your supply, but before you do that, think about what you can do with all of your empty makeup tubes and pots. I recently found out that there are different mail-in programs that let you recycle your empty makeup!
