Green Living Tips
Cyber Recycling and much more in Miami-Dade and Broward
My Friend Phillip Hatfield has just sent me this useful information about recycling books, computers and other goods we no longer use. And I decided to share it with you:
What to do as one summer day leads to another.
1. Passing on your PC/Printer/Cell Phone: Since computers are filled with toxins, tossing them into the trash is illegal. What you may not know is that a lot of e-recycling programs, especially free ones, hire firms that remove the functional parts and strip the scraps for metal, which-you guessed it-also releases toxic chemicals. For peace of mind, check the list of recyclers recommended by the Electronics TakeBack Coalition, a national alliance for responsible e-recycling. Even more convenient, Best Buy stores now accept most old laptops, monitors, and TVs. They may charge a $10 fee-but they’ll hand over a $10 gift card in exchange. Also, check out BW recycling in Hallandale, FL and they wll take your old computer and cell phone off your hands, most without their nominal desposal fee. Check out crserecycling and tbeir local drop-offs, where they will take Electronics to Household appliances
- Miami area www.bestbuy.com; are always a good bet for dropping off computers.
- www.crserecycling.com/locations/miami.html and www.bwrecycling.com accept computers and other electronics across the greater metropolitan area.Locate a www.computertakeback.com; to donate your used books.
Contacts:
- Miami area Goodwills are always a good bet for donating many different items, such as books.
- All Miami-Dade Libraries accept book donations across the greater metropolitan area.
- Locate a Salvation Army to donate your used books.

3. Undo Your Fashion Don’t's and never should haves: Ladies, still waiting for hoop skirts ,leg warmers and cone bras to come back into fashion, well don’t. Also, consider donating clothes that you have not worn for the last two years. They say you can’t change a man only improve his wardrobe, consider ditching his leisure suit and polyiester shirts to those in need.
Contacts:
Goodwill www.goodwill.org; You can drop off at center nearest you (behind Aventura Mall) or if the pick-up is large enought, they will pick-up
The Salvation Army http://satruck.org/donate-goods needs two weeks’ notice for such requests. In Miami-Dade, it’s at 305-573-4200; in Broward, 954-463-3725. Drivers are off on Sundays and Mondays
http://miamirescuemission.com will pick up but mens and womens clothes with no rips, tears or stains. Residents in Miami-Dade and Broward counties should call 800-817-HOPE (4673), toll-free.
4. Give Furniture the Heave-Ho: That broken dining room set, that ugly sofa and worn out matress, they just sit there, defying your every attempt to dislodge them. Spare your back and spoil your conscience by calling in some muscle from local charities http://miamirescuemission.com
also picks up but only if furniture is in ”good” condition — no rips, tears or stains. Residents in Miami-Dade and Broward counties should call 800-817-HOPE (4673), toll-free.
The Broward Partnership for the Homeless, http://www.bphi.org/, at 920 NW Seventh Ave., Fort Lauderdale, also accepts furniture; 954-832-7031.
Douglas Gardens Thrift Shop of the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged. Its stores are at 5713 NW 27th Ave., Miami, and 3194 W. Hallandale Beach Blvd., Hallandale Beach; 305-638-1900 or 800-876-4483. Both locations are open seven days a week.
Habitat for Humanity www.habitat.org has two ReStores in Miami-Dade: 3800 NW 22nd Ave., Miami, immediately south of State Road 112 (305-637-4913), and 19100 SW 106th Ave., Cutler Bay (305-259-2891). Both are open Tuesday through Saturday. Call 305-637-4913 to arrange a pickup. The Broward ReStore is at 513 W. Broward Blvd., Fort Lauderdale (954-763-7771). It’s open Monday through Saturday. Be precise about your need for a pickup. 5. Swap Till You Drop: No, I am not talking about the swapshop in Ft Lauderdale. However, clearing out your odds and ends is a great excuse to hop onto Freecycle, a chain of online forums that members use to give away items that might otherwise end up in a landfill. A recent scroll through the Miami site (run through Yahoo Groups) revealed everything from a sunbed to working stoplight. But beware: You may end up nabbing as much stuff as you shed. You may also consider selling them, at NO cost to the lister at craigslist, but beware of scammers offering cashiers checks worth more than you are asking for your item.
The Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami ReStore has one location: 2299 NW 77th Terrace | Miami, FL 33174
