The Spring Bug is getting into all of us by now. Time to clear out any unneeded items. Here are a few quick tips and links to help make your Spring Cleaning a little more friendly on our Earth:

• Have old CDs, DVDs that you don’t need anymore?  Here is a great way to recycle them through CD Recycling of America.
• Do you have clothes or household items to pass along? Donate them to Goodwill, Sell them on Craigslist, or gift them on Freecycle.
• Have a home project you want to start? Check out your local Habitat for Humanity Restores to see if they have some of the items you need. Reuse to help keep items out of landfills, find the items you need at a fraction of the price of buying them new, and your purchases help to support the Habitat for Humanity in your area.
• Have other items to get rid of, but don’t know how? Check out Earth911. “In our recycling database, we can help you find over 100,000 recycling locations across the country. With information provided by local governments, industry insiders, organizations and everyday consumers, you can recycle hundreds of products from packing peanuts to computers.
