In Mentor, Ohio, they stopped the recyling program but offered that we could drive our recylables to a location to dump.

As a result, hardly anyone recycles.
Cities don’t make decisions on ‘caring’. They shouldn’t! They are there to administrate and it costs money.

I am trying to figure out why it doesn’t work and no, I am not going to organize any recycling programs.

Hi I Was Asked To Share Some Tips And Things I Learned In My Nine Years On The Streets

1: Footwear A Good Pair Of Leather Workboots Is The Best If You Walk Alot As I Do Good Workboots Protect Your Feet And Good Woorkboots Will Outlast A Dozen Pairs Of Tennis Shoes Bear In Mind If You Are Not Used To Wearing Heavy Boots It Will Be Uncomfortable At First But Once You Break Em In You Will Never Go Back Also Change Your Socks Twice A Day And Use Foot Powder

2: Hygeine: There Is No Excuse For Lack Of If You Put Your Mind To It You Can Be Clean And Quite Presentable Ymca Is Relatively Easy To Sneak Into Even If You Do Not Have A Membership Simply By Loitering At The Sidedoor “please Note This Is My Town Your Ymca May Be Different” And Wait For Someone To Open It Then I Can Shower And Do Laundry In The Sink And Use The Spinner To Dry Em. IN LARGE MAJOR CITIES THE YMCA MAY HAVE HOMELESS PROGRAMS SO MY METHOD MAY NOT BE NECESSARY AS I SAID CIRCUMSTANCES VARY FROM PLACE TO PLACE. MANY CHURCHES AND SHELTERS HAVE SHOWERS AND LAUNDRY ON DIFFERENT DAYS AS WELL.
Also If You Find Odd Jobs Usually If You Ask Politeley The People Will Let You Shower And Do Laundry And Feed You A Meal As Well.

Money Alot Of People Panhandle And Thats Ok But There Are More Dignified Ways To Make Income On The Streets

1. Cash Jobs A” Homeless AND Do Odd Jobs For CASH” Sign At A Good Location Particularly Where Elderly People Shop Alot You Can Fetch Cash Jobs Such As Lawn Care,Snow Shoveling, Etc And Sometimes You Will Build A Customer Base While You Are Standing There Some Folks Will Hand You A Few Bucks Out Of Pity As A Bonus Some Will Try Not To Give You Cash Because They Think You Are Buying Beer Simply Tell Them You Are More Than Willing To Do The Work To Get The Cash And Be Ready To Do It Mornings Are The Best Time For This Hustle

2. Plasma Centers If Your Town Pays For Plasma Donations And You Can Go Twice A Week Every Week I Get 55 Bucks Every Week Steady Stable Cash Income But The Money Will Vary Depending On Circumstances.

3. Temporary Sevices Apply At Everyone In Your Town You May Not Land A Dream Job But Often Enough They Need People For A Day Or Two Here And There And You Had Nothing Better To Do Anyhow Some Will Contend That They Cant Get Ahold Of Me Well Go To Your County Job Center Early When They Open And Call Them Dont Wait For Em To Call You The Phone Is Free At The Job Service

4. Recycling When I Have Nothing At All Going For Me On A Given Day I Take A Shopping Cart And Dig In Dumpsters For Cans And Scrap Metal You Can Find Aluminum Cans, Insulated Wire, Piece Aluminum, And Electronic Items Can Me Smashed Open As Well Vaccum Cleaners Have Motors, Tv Sets And Monitors Have Lots Of Wire And Copper Yokes On The Tube That Can Be Had With A Good Hammer Whack And Cut Them Cords With Ever So High Copper Prices They Fetch 40-60 Cents A Pound At Many Scrap Yards. Always Clean Up After Yourself And Put Everything Back Into The Dumpster Also For Your Safety Wear Work Gloves And Be Careful If You Do This For 10 Hours Straight You Can Have 25-50 Dollars In Cash But You Gotta Move Fast To Find Alot Of **** If Your Slow Maybee 10-15 Bucks.

4. Do Not Party Use Your Money To Take Care Of Your Basic Needs Alcohol And Drugs Just Eat Up Your Funds And With A Clear Mind You Will Find More Opprotunnities To Make Money Instead Of Pissing It Away On Dope That Money You Spend On Dope Could Have Bought You A Weekend At A Cheap Motel Off The Streets And Meals Lets See A Habit Of Dope Or A Couple Nights Good Sleep And Cable Tv And Steak Dinner On Friday Night That Should Be A No-brainer

aLoe asked:


I have two types of glass bottles to recycle-

1. Glass bottles which have a simple recycle logo. From what i heard, these do not pay money if u recycle them.

2. Glass bottles with a special ‘bottle’-shaped recycling logo containing the words: ‘26.3 UK units’ or ‘1.0 EEK’ .

I’ve been asking around and different people have told me different things. Hope that someone who is familiar with the system, like who lives in sweden could help me clear up the doubts once and for all. Thanks very much!

I know this is kind of a silly question, but I want to start recycling and I don’t know where to get bins, or even if my neighborhood actually recycles. Any help?

We have a lot of waste plastic bags and am wondering if I can recycle them to make building bricks. There is one or two companies in my location recycling the same to make fencing poles, but I would like to manufacture huge quantities of hardened brings for building, Road construction etc. By doing this, I will be resolving a very big environmental problem as well as creating jobs and some income.

I would like to know the technology involved and if there is a company involved in what I have in mind and is preparing to either go into partnership with me or help me in setting up such a factory..

It’s well established now both that global warming is a very real international crisis akin to the threat of nuclear holocaust in its end result, and the threat is increasing with every day, and every plane taken by every traveller, and every car taken down the road. .. and every golf course that uses water that spreads fertilizer and pesticide around the near countryside, when the land could be returned to native trees for more oxygen for us all, and for birds to in turn help promote growth of more trees elsewhere.

People travel across the world just to see ‘beautiful nature’ and go hiking amongst the trees in New Zealand - more than the number of people who go there to play golf - so for local tourist opportunities in other countries too, it makes sense to plant more trees, and reduce, reuse and recycle old golf courses.

Save the world! Reclaim your local golf course for nature, the birds, the trees, and oxygen for you and your grandchildren to breath, now!

I am used to being able to see how large the recycle bin is in the bottom of the window in Windows XP. The Vista recycle bin does not show the file size of recycled files, and I can’t seem to be able to change this setting. Could someone please help me?

What would you say to this statement? I don’t know if this really outweighs the benefits if you go through all the trouble. But the point is, you’re trying to limit the amount of waste and conserve resources.
