Recycline Preserve Tootbrushes
If you watch as much HGTV as I do, then you know what I’m talking about when I say that they are always telling you ways you can "go green." I am here to tell you that I have the big news before HGTV this time, because I haven’t ever heard of them making a deck out of toothbrushes.
Recycline is a US company that takes recycling seriously. Here’s how it works: buy a recycline toothbrush at your local Target store or purchase online. When it’s time to be tossed, print out a mailing label from the Recycline website, and mail your used toothbrush to them for free. Used toothbrushes are made into plastic lumber which can be used for decks, park benches, etc. It’s a very cool idea. Plus, it’s great to be able to support a company that happens to reside in the US.
The toothbrushes are $2.04 at Target or $2.79 online or you can buy a pack of four for $11.00 on the Recycline website. They also have other products, including razors, that they can recycle as well.
The toothbrush itself is your basic toothbrush. One thing that I’m really picky is about is the bristles. I like a soft bristle toothbrush and Recycline delivers on this must-have. The only negative about the toothbrush is that, unlike my electric one, it doesn’t stand up on its own.
If you would like more information on Recycline and their products, please visit their website. There’s also a downloadable coupon on the site if you’re interested in giving it a try.
