Cases (#7) and caps (#2) are clearly recyclable with mixed plastics. Could the toothbrushes themselves also be recycled with Knoxville's mixed plastics? Also, information for recycling Brita pitcher filters is posted at this web site: http://www.preserveproducts.com/recycling/britafilters.html. Thanks!

By giving someone else your gently used items, you are helping them as well as the planet! Because they're buying your used item, they are not purchasing another item made and shipped from overseas in heavy packaging. Recycle like this through craigslist, freecycle, and shop/sell at local thrift stores or places like Plato's Closet. Rachel,

Can they be accepted with mixed paper? Also, can I recycle steel bottles from whipped cream? Someone told me no because those are aerosols. Thank-you! Hello,
