What Do I Do With This? - rubber bands

My wife and I have started to work towards a zero-waste home. Generally, we check what we buy to make sure it is recyclable or compostable, but sometimes a piece of trash is attached to what we buy and we are left with no other option but to throw it out. In the series What Do I Do With This? we would like to ask you for help. We would like this to be an interactive blog article where we can discuss useful tips for keeping trash out of the landfill.

Our first guest to the show is the rubber band. I thought we'd start with something easy. Our asparagus and broccoli come with two rubber bands each. So, what should I do with these rubber bands? Please leave your comments below.

Join your local Freecycle group. Currently its a yahoo group, but servers may change in the future for some. the whole "point" of freecycle is to keep usable items OUT of the landfill! You can post "offers" of items, and "wanteds" as well. different groups have different policies on how many "wants" you can post in a month, but all allow it. I have given away baby items, old tires, old bikes and appliances, even a printer! I have received an exercise bike, window a/c unit, and many more! Its one of the best ways to help keep items out of your landfills!
