Cash from trash! If you have scrap metal lying around the house -- wiring from an unfinished project, a brass bed, leftover construction material -- don't toss it, recycle it! Look up "scrap metal dealers" in your phone book and drop off your recyclables. They'll pay you cash for your trash, and it'll all get recycled into new metal products. Use the cash to treat yourself to something nice.

Leftovers? While the jury is still out on plastic food containers (some believe they leach toxins into food, especially when the food is heated up in the microwave), why take the risk? Visit a restaurant supply store and stock up on stainless steel food storage containers. They come in a variety of sizes, have matching lids, are strong and durable, and won't stain when you store last night's spaghetti marinara. Bonus! If you ever need to throw 'em away, they're 100 percent recyclable; just toss them into the curbside recycling bin. (Just don't put 'em in the microwave!)
