What do you recycle or do organicly that others might not? Hints?

[AspiringToBeFrugal]

I've donated numerous flower vases (particularly those generic tall thin ones or the short bud vases--I keep the fancy ones) back to a local flower shop. They are always willing to recycle them and I get rid of vases that are taking up space underneath my sink!

we recycle aluminum cans;
dh recycles other metals, copper, etc;
rarely use pre-packaged foods;

I cut the legs off of old blue jeans and make denim shopping bags out of them; dh takes the zippers out of them for recycling & I then sew up the zipper site and the bottom to make another shopping bag. Handles are make out of the shorter pieces of denim.

Make my own laundry detergent;

when the printers at work spit out a blank page at the end of a program, stick it back in the paper tray. Cut off the unused portions of papers being thrown away and save for jotting down notes.

Save the coffee grounds at work and take them home to dump on fire ant hills. Doesn't kill them, but they don't like it for some reason and leave. If you start closest to you house and work your way away, they will gradually leave your property. I normally have to do this a couple of times a year to pretty much keep them at bay.

We do most of what everyone else has mentioned and a lot more if I could just remember all of it.
