When recycling, you often forget what is potentially reusable and what isn’t. Take perfume: While it’s glass bottle is a totally recyclable product, it probably wouldn’t occur to someone to not throw it in the regular trash bin.

As Green Daily reports, certain American department stores are allowing you to bring back your empty perfume bottles for recycling purposes. Let’s hope that more stores catch on, and other perfumes as well.

And maybe we can start having recyclable fragrances as well, by mixing the dregs of each bottle into one super perfume! OK, maybe we’ll hold off on that one for now.
