Having home repair done? Don’t throw away these old materials! Recycle them instead!

Home repair is usually replacing old work. With the new work comes tons of leftover debris. Here are materials from leftover home repair that most don’t know can be recycled!

• Shingles - Asphalt shingles can be recycled to pave roads.
• Drywall - Many facilities will accept drywall, as long as they are free of foreign objects and lead based paint.
• Paint - Drop off extra paint to a local Household Hazardous Waste facility or donate it to a good-cause. Don’t through it away! It’s hazardous to the environment!
• Brick - Old brick can be ground to make concrete or resold as aged brick
• Carpet - Ask your new carpet dealer about some options for recycling.

Think you might have some old materials to donate? Check with Habitat for Humanity.

A few months ago, Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed a ban on the selling of large sugary drinks in NYC, which will go into effect in a few days.

However, the ban may be affecting your morning Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. The popular coffee company has begun posting signs around their NYC locations advising customers of what will be changing at their NYC Dunkin’ chains.

The company has announced from here on out:

You will have to add your own sugar to large & extra-large hot beverages and medium & large iced beverages.  

You will have to add your own flavor swirl to large & extra-large hot beverages and medium & large iced beverages.

There will also be a beverage size change on hot chocolate and dunkaccinos. They will only be available in small and medium size cups only. Frozen beverages will now only be available in RESIZED small & medium only.

What do you think about these changes? Let us know on our Facebook page, linked HERE!
