Remember, before you buy something, check the bottom.

Okay, the PDF above shows the typical items that can be recycled, but what about…

Swiss Navy – yes, it has a # 1 on the bottom.

ID Glide       – no, it has a # 3 on the bottom.

Wet             – no, it has a # 3 on the bottom.

So the gay choice lube award goes to Swiss Navy.  Let us know if there is another one we should mention here.  We’ve heard a lot of good things about the Swiss Navy, oh, and the lube too.  News flash!  You can now purchase Swiss Nave Lube from Ed at Presidio Hair and Nails Salon.  Click here for more information.

For those of you who work out, protein powders usually come in large plastic containers.  Check the bottom for the triangle.  Tucson recycles numbers 1 and 2.

Muscle Milk – yes, it has a number # 2 on the bottom.

After you’ve read your favorite gay Tucson and gay Arizona magazines/newspapers, remember to recycle them too. 
Computer Stuff:  Take it to the Los Reales Landfill, they have a special drop spot available.  Ask when you get there.  The address is 5300 E Los Reales Rd.  It is near the interstate 10 at Craycroft.  Craycroft turns into Los Reales headed south from I-10.
Recycling by the numbers:  What do those numbers mean in the middle of the recycle logo and which ones are accepted at the Tucson recycling center?
