Sneakers. Nike's Reuse-A-Shoe program (www.letmeplay.com/reuseashoe)accepts old sneakers (any brand) and recycles them into courts for various sports so kids around the world have a place to play.


Shopping bags (plastic). You may be able to drop them off at your local grocery store. (To find other stores, go to www.plasticbagrecycling.org.)


TVs. Best Buy will remove and recycle a set when it delivers a new one. Or bring old ones to Office Depot to be recycled. Got a Sony TV? Take it to a drop-off center listed at www.sony.com/recycle.
