What is the best way to dispose of the "not so green" detergents I still have in the house?
Dear Besenok: Although it was not done in a "green" way, a lot of energy and materials went into the "not so green" cleaning products you have. If they are not immediately hazardous (like chlorine bleach or spray cleaners with 2-butoxyethanol) the most environmental thing to do with them is to use them and buy more environmental products when the ones you have are gone.
