Your trash and recycling bins are already overflowing with cardboard boxes, glass bottles and debris from holiday celebrations, you’re not alone. But instead of sending it all to the landfill, recycling experts say many of those items still have value.

Peggy Whitlow Ratcliffe, founder and executive director of Live Thrive, says tossing everything into the garbage is a missed opportunity.

„If we put all that in the landfill, that’s very sad when there is a place absolutely to properly dispose,” Ratcliffe said.

Live Thrive runs The Center for Hard to Recycle Materials, known as CHaRM, which accepts items that curbside programs cannot.

„We take all of those things that you can’t put in your curbside bins,” Whitlow Ratcliffe said.
