• Earth's 911 - It's the web site that's also a phone number! If you can't get to the address on your computer (http://www.1800CLEANUP.org), you can also call 1-800-CLEANUP. There's plenty of information about recycling, solid waste issues and more. The kicker here is that it can direct you to local recycling information. Of course, if you're viewing this page, you've already managed to do that. But it's still chock-full of information.
