Your best bet is to call them in advance and ask them.

Every community in the US deals with leaf blowers differently. Some municipalities have banned them, others have not. You can do a google search for “communities that have banned leaf blowers” and see what you find. Good luck.

I guess it’s a question of what you consider “real”!

Most of people calling natural diamonds as real diamonds & synthetic diamonds as fake diamonds. But synthetic diamonds are also real diamonds, just they are man made diamonds. Am I right??

Comment on As Communities Ban Leaf Blowers, Homeowners Save Money by Raking by Hossain Ahmad https://www.newsite.biggreenpurse.com/as-communities-ban-leaf-blowers-homeowners-save-money-by-raking/#comment-2438 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 11:17:23 +0000 https://www.newsite.biggreenpurse.com/as-communities-ban-leaf-blowers-homeowners-save-money-by-raking/#comment-2438 Hi, I live in Malaga Park and the best battery powered leaf blowers (now used year-round, and currently extensively for grass clippings) is driving me crazy. I did a search about banning leaf blowers and found your blog, written years ago. I am assuming this was voted against. Is there anything currently happening to try to ban the blowers? I would like to be involved. I think all blowers should be banned though, not just gas, as I am mainly concerned about noise. (I also am having issues with mowers which is another problem I think, but not quite as bad as blowers, they are still noisy and polluting). Please let me know. Thank you.

Comment on Recycle Old Wires and Cables; They’re Worth a Lot of $$! by Shaylee Packer https://www.newsite.biggreenpurse.com/recycle-old-wires-cables/#comment-2437 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 19:29:26 +0000 https://www.newsite.biggreenpurse.com/recycle-old-wires-cables/#comment-2437 I didn’t realize that wires for electronics could be taken in and recycled. We have some old gaming systems that we don’t use anymore and have been trying to decide what to do with them. I wonder if a recycling place would take the cords?

I’m sorry, but we do not buy old wiring. Do an internet search for “buyers of old electrical wiring” and see if you find a local buyer.

Thanks, Ann. I agree that recycling hasn’t become as effective as it could be – and it’s certainly not where to start with dealing with the problem: stemming overconsumption is, followed by manufacturing more durable products made from safer ingredients and materials. But there are some recycling services that pay. For example, my utility company paid me $50 to pick up and recycle my old refrigerator, plus an additional $100 for replacing the old one with a more efficient model. I recently “recycled” some dining room chairs via Craig’s List – to someone who paid me $150 for them. I do think we need to look to our own borders rather than China or somewhere to ship off our trash. Buy less, use what you buy as long as possible, and recycle it (or get it to another user) when you can’t use it anymore.
