  Wendy B. asked:

  Please forgive me if this is post is off topic, but I can't find any other East Windsor related groups to ask. I'm still relatively new to the area, and I have two questions. First, is there a dog park in the area? And second, where can I recycle old batteries? I live in a condo area, and they don't have a place to recycle batteries, and there's areas to walk our dogs, but I'm looking for place where the dogs can run around off-leash. Thanks in advance!

  I think there's a dog park in Mercer County Park. Check out Earth911.org to search for recycling programs, local and mail-in.

  Johnny B. asked:

  Can anyone recommend a dry cleaners in St. Pete that will allow me to avoid the use of, or that recycles, plastic garment bags? Anyone who suggests Rogers gets immediately unfriended. I'm de-cluttering my closet of roughly 47226471 of them and am riddled with guilt; I feel like I'm simultaneously propping up state-sponsored terrorism, strengthening our dependence on fossil fuels, and killing manatees. Because I probably am.

  Yes, dry cleaning bags ARE recyclable. While most curbside pick-up programs do not accept dry cleaning bags and other plastic films, you can deposit them in collection bins at the grocery store (usually labeled for plastic bag recycling) or at recyclin g centers. Find a location near you at Earth911.org/recycling by searching for places to recycle "#4 plastic bags.” Dry cleaning bags are usually made from plastic resins number 2 or 4, which are difficult to recycle because they are so light weight. These plastic films get tangled in complicated recycling equipment. They are simple to recycle because they are 100% plastic but must be kept separate from materials generally included in curbside pick-up programs. Recycled dry cleaning bags can be found in furniture, tiles, garbage bags, trash cans, and much more. Recycling plastics uses way less energy and produces far fewer environmental toxins then creating new plastic altogether, so it's important to spread the word that dry cleaning bags and other plastic films can be recycled.
