[OKRA] Lowe's Stores Recycling Centers

[Hershey, Ilda]

Lowe's has recently installed permanent recycling centers in nearly all of its 1,700 stores throughout the U.S. to accept these items:

-Rechargeable batteries (of up to 11 pounds).
-Cell phones.
-Compact fluorescent bulbs (most Lowe's have been accepting used CFLs since March).
-Plastic shopping bags.

I contacted the Lowe's in Stillwater and they confirmed they are part of this program.  You may wish to check your local Lowe's store and spread the word in your own community.
