Five Recycling Mysteries Solved

I ran across this article on Yahoo! and I thought that it was relevant and informative. Don't throw away the following five items:
Batteries
CFL (Compact Florescent Light bulbs)
Electronics
Motor Oil- One gallon of used motor oil can contaminate one MILLION gallons of drinking water!
Paint
Many local businesses collect and properly dispose of these items, including but not limited to Ikea, Whole Foods, Home Depot and Jiffy Lube. Visit the article to find recycling centers and hazardous waste drop off sites near you.
