We’ve had an email from Uta Bauer asking about recycling old photographs and negatives.
We covered pictures that back on the site earlier in the year but didn’t really include negatives in that.
So how about those negatives? I’m sure they could be used in some really fun craft projects using light but don’t have any specific suggestions – anyone else made anything cool with them?
We’ve covered the toner/ink cartridges in the past but have now had an email from Wendy Johnson Houghton about the machines themselves:
I have recently purchased a new printer for my personal use.
Sadly, it was cheaper to buy a new printer than to purchase toner cartridges for the old one.
I now have a printer which sort of works, but not brilliant – and I want to know whether it is recyclable?
If it’s still working – as you say it is, someone else might prefer to take a chance on refilling the existing cartridges or replacing them with cheaper ones – so it might be worth offering it on your local Freecycle group.
Any other suggestions?

Heh, a bit of a weird/fun one for a change.
Apparently, the actress Scarlett Johansson had some of her wisdom teeth taken out recently and decided to get one gold-plated and put on a necklace as a birthday present for her boyfriend of six months, Ryan Reynolds.
I would totally salute this concept – if I ever have kidney stones removed and can keep them, well, fun earrings a go go! – but if Scarlett hadn’t wanted to make jewellery out of her chompers, what else could she have done with them?
The tooth fairy must have a huge stack dying for a re-use too. So any ideas?
