Let's Go Green

Picture

In an effort to help our environment, we are taking steps to "Go Green."
Interested in going green with us?
  • Laysville Hardware has joined the call2recycle network to become a collection site for recycling rechargeable batteries & cell phones.
  • We have expanded our selection of LEDs and can now accept and recycle your used CFLs.
  • Paperless billing is now available — we can send your statements by e-mail. Email us or stop by to sign-up.

Here are some ways you can help:
  • Composting — we carry composters
  • Switch your incandescent light bulbs and CFLs to LEDs and you will save $30-$60 over the life of the bulb (on average 10,000 life hours which is about 5.5 years if the light is on everyday for five hours).
  • Recycle your batteries and CFLs — bring them here and we will recycle them in an environmentally safe method
  • Use biodegradable cleaning supplies​​

Recycling: When Garbage Becomes Garbhage
- Written by Jean Fagen Sisk

Oh me oh my, oh dear oh my,
to my garbage what have you done?
I now must sort it four times over,
Before it was just one.

Garbage is garbage — that's easy to know --
My problem is space — where does it go?
I haven't an entry way — I haven't a hall,
In fact, I have no place for four bags at all.

It's a bag for glass — a bag for cans,
Washed and cleaned, of course,
For the untidiness at the landfill
They were the primary source.

I must present my newspapers
Tethered or bagged,
Say a prayer for the environmentalists
And my spirits that have sagged.

I've divorced the garbage from the bottles and cans,
And the newspapers are tied in a clump,
I pray that the landfill is tidy and neat,
For my kitchen sure looks like a dump!
