Deodorant refill: A refillable container or cartridge that can be used to refill a deodorant container rather than purchasing a new one each time it is empty.

Available these days at retail, the starter kit with aluminum bottle is $14.99; the kit with plastic bottle is $9.99.
The Starter Kit for the Dove Reusable Body Wash Bottles + Concentrate Refills system comes with either an aluminum or perhaps a plastic bottle and one bottle of concentrate.

Outer containers are usually made with post-consumer resins or aluminum for more premium packages.
Refill cartridges are packaged in lightweight, recyclable, materials like paperboard which reduces plastic waste and shipping weight in comparison with a normal deodorant stick.
Because additional viable recycling markets for plastic containers #3 through #7 are starting to emerge, many Connecticut towns now have programs to recycle those types of containers.
Check with your municipal recycling contact to see if your municipality has such a program.
If your municipality or waste hauler will not give recycling plastics 3-7, the rest of the options are somewhat limited (i.e. reuse or disposal).
Some gas appliances such as for example stoves, ovens, clothes dryers, water heaters, furnaces and space heaters have a pilot light sensor that contains mercury.

As lockdown is easing once again, I see discarded PPE, masks and gloves, each time I go to the shops or to run an errand.

Solid Waste Management

You will find a thermocouple that prevents gas flow unless a flame is present.
You typically have to carry a button right down to obtain the gas to flow when re-lighting the pilot flame, and keep holding it down before thermocouple warms up.

If the material is damaged or becomes damaged, the Connecticut Department of Public Health recommends a licensed asbestos contractor be contacted to abate the material.
Abatement activities may involve repair, enclosure, encapsulation or removal of the material.

That cost should be section of the purchase cost, so when investment in recycling facilities increase, prices would come down and innovation would increase…I think.
Preserve®, along with other companies, created the “Gimme 5” program, which collects all #5 plastics for recycling, including plastic bottle caps.
