There is this place RDS in the city of Portsmouth, VA, but you have to owe a business to recycle things using their services. I don't have a business and the city of Chesapeake, VA does not offer many services that are offered in other cities. I would like to recycle magazines, catalagos, paper board, what about the boxes where the febreeze deodorants are packed? I'm pretty sure those can be recycled. What about the corrugated carboard where the eggs are packed, and the actual eggs holder? I'm so frustrated because I know we don't do enough. I print both sides of the printing paper, what if I want to recycle that too. I have many questions. About electronics, unless you can actually show me physical evidence that my electronics are not going to end in China, I will keep them in my garage. Did you see the article in National Geographc and the 60 minutes show in TV. I need information. Is there a website with the latest information about recycling that gives you information by state and city?
