Did you know you could recycle old running shoes so they could be turned into playground or soccer field surfacing? I just found out that by donating my wedding dress to “Brides Against Breast Cancer,” eco-conscious brides can find that perfect dress, and the proceeds will help grant a wish for a woman with terminal breast cancer.
Check out LIME’s Guide to Recycling. At the top of the page, click on one of the categories (see complete list below), then click the Submit button, to see just what you can do with that old toothbrush!
