How to Recycle a Stove or Oven

Hey Mr. Green,

Can you please tell me how to recycle a gas range that has served as a stove and an oven?  I've been trying to give it away, but because it requires a lot of repair, nobody wants it. Being the eco-friendly gal that I am, I can't bear the thought of it going into the local dump. Do you have any suggestions?

There are quite a few outfits in your area over near Wisconsin's populous southeast coast that recycle large appliances. So how does an answer guy perched in California know this? Because he went to the premier national resource for finding recyclers, Earth911. All anybody has to do to find local recyclers at Earth911 is type in whatever you want to recycle, plus your address, and a list of recyclers that are closest to you will appear.

If you don’t want to haul the stove to the recycler yourself, you may want to call to find out if they’ll come pick it up.

And yes, you are most assuredly an “eco-friendly gal,” because recycling doesn’t just help keep the dumps from perpetual expansion. Every ton of recycled steel saves 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal, and 120 pounds of limestone, according to the Steel Recycling Institute. So your old stove can be more cleanly reincarnated, maybe even as an enlightened bicycle, instead of rusting away in a landfill.

Just curious, how can recycling a ton of one metal save 2 tons of others?

I'm sure you would find it very easy to get your old stove collected for recycling given the price of scrap metals currently.

These well-known UGG Classic Cardy are now becoming more and more fashionable and popular, to some extent. I believe you may ask what the shoes can bring us. As I know, if one person struck by lightning in Holland, his family must put all his Classic Cardy Boots up as soon as possible. And in the fairy tale, the shoes are more magic indeed. Now, I always say that the UGG Classic Cardy Boots are so magic and popular.http://www.uggscardy.com

We now have phenomenal tools to create real meaning. Perhaps we need to redefine art (again). I'm excited to see something new, but for now, the new creative developments.

However, it’s not just Taylorite management that left us a crap England team. The more modern fad for superstar bosses has also had this effect.
Just as British businesses think they can solve their problems by paying superstar chief executives huge money - thus giving us RBS and BP - so our football authorities preferred to pay Capello £6m a year than ask whether the structure of the game was right.
A similar thing happens with the team. Superstar players are considered undroppable. Yes, this might be because there is no depth of talent; who was there on the benchfsd yesterday who might have reasonably been expected to change the game? But it also betokens an idea that individuals matter more than structures.
