something new NOT to throw away, but not yet...

Long time no post-- In November I heard a presentation by a product development company that works with Recycline- a company that produces all of their plastic personal care and kitchen and serveware products out of recycled #5 plastic. Now you can go to a Whole Foods store and drop off used #5 plastic yogurt cups, etc. and brita water pitchers! About time those things had another place to go besides the trash!  

** Hey, I just stopped by Whole foods all ready to drop off my used Brita water filter, and nope, no place yet to deposit it for recycling. For those who are wondering, it's the River Street market in Cambridge, MA.
