Technically, metal wire hangers are recyclable, but they should not be put in your recycling bin for one reason: They tangle and can cause huge problems at the recycling facility. These flexible wire hangers get tumbled with other recyclable metals and can twist and wrap themselves around the mechanical parts at the factory. This can cause a stoppage, or worse, can hurt someone who works there. Instead, reuse the hangers or take them back to the dry cleaner or store where you got them.

It’s common knowledge that you should do a light rinse of recyclable containers before putting them in the recycling bin. But did you know you should skip the rinse when it comes to any containers that have a soapy residue? Think about bottles that once held laundry detergent, shampoo and hand soap. These should not be rinsed. Why not? The residual soap can help clean plastics during reprocessing at the recycling plant! Simply toss these items into the bin without a rinse!

When creating the fairy tale wedding of your dreams, it’s possible to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on the wedding gown -- something that is worn only for a few hours, just once in your lifetime. Get more dress for your money by thinking "once wed." The online store OnceWed.com has a marketplace featuring almost-new wedding gowns being re-sold at a fraction of the price. Dresses from in-demand designers like Vera Wang and Monique Lhuiller can be found at up to 90% off their original retail price. Use the money you saved to honeymoon at a five-star eco-resort after the wedding.
