I have a large mirror vanished over from a bathroom remodel. What's the best way to dispose of it? Can it be recycled? It's about 4' x 8'. Thanks!
you can contact apposite will or a local branch of habitat for humanity (or any like organization that help the less fortunate) and they might take it past its sell-by date your hands. elsewise, take it to the local dump and move it next to a dumpster. someone might decide to run it. be careful with the cup. don't cut yourself! Put it in your driveway or front yard beside a free sign on it. I'd be willing to bet it'll be gone within a year or two.
Melissa give all the answers you can hope for. That's a huge mirror. You can be certain someone requests it. Please don't put it in the dump. In my neighborhood everything usable goes out close at hand the street and rarely stays more than a week. It's like a free trade zone. I've picked up oodles broken mirrors to use in my crafting. Check to see if there is a Freecyle group within your area (yahoo). It has be extremely effective for me as a wonderful way to win rid of things I no longer need but that someone else would love to have. I'm doing some remodeling and also cleaning out lots of things that I don't know why I've kept. Freecyle have certainly kept a lot of things out of the dump for me!
Answers: If you get it off the wall unbroken:
+Call your local architectural salvage yard to see if they want it. They may wages you a token sum, or just be willing to thieve it off your hands.
+Try the Goodwill or Salvation Army, or a used-furniture store. They may come and pick it up; within my town the Goodwill has different pick-up days for different quadrants of the city.
+Habitat for Humanity in my town have a building-materials retail store. Donated items that cannot be used in the houses they build are sold there, to lift up funds for them and to provide affordable materials to homeowners.
+Depending on where you live, you might be able to set it out at the curb and it may disappear. My town is full of scavenger.
If it is broken:
+It cannot be recycled along with glass jar and bottles. It isn't the same kind of chalice.
+If it's still a huge piece, your trash collector may mark it as an oversize item when they come by on your usual trash day, and distribute the large-item crew to get it later that daylight or week. This may or may not cost extra, depending on the terms of the contract negotiated next to them by you, your city or your neighborhood.
+If it's broken into smaller pieces, I recommend putting the pieces into paper bags earlier placing them in plastic trash bags---this keeps them from ripping the plastic.
