It’s important for us to utilize our resources for recycling, for some places will even pay for your recyclables.

Let’s face it: We’re not going to jump at the opportunity to drop off our bulky, old refrigerator or tires—but if there were places that could pick up these items, all the better. Salt River Project power and water will pick up your old refrigerator and other appliances, and give you $30 until April 30. There are also a number of recycling centers around the Valley that accept old tires, car batteries and electronics besides the typical bottles and cans.
