Home and Garden Roundup: 4.2.06

2006-04-03-clutter2.jpgHome & Garden was ready for a little early spring cleaning this week. Two articles on where that clutter can go - perfect for AT readers doing the "cure".

Junk B'gone: Time to clear out? Celebrating discardia a little late? The Home & Garden staff comes up with a great resource - a list of who actually wants that stuff you want to get rid of. A good one to clip (or copy and paste).

The Sweet Home Goods Hereafter: Info on three upcoming recycling events for those hard-to-place items like electronics (working or not), scrap metal, bikes that need TLC, old cell phones and more. Outside the city, but if you are doing a big sweep, it may be worth the trip.
