You've had a good, long run together. But even with the best of lawn mowers, there comes a time when you have to move on. Whether your mower has aged beyond its useful life or you're ready for an upgrade, make sure your old lawn mower goes to greener pastures - and doesn't end up in a landfill somewhere. To be smart about recycling your lawn mower, check out these helpful resources:

Saying good-bye to your faithful grass clipping companion may be bittersweet, but with these sources, finding a way to responsibly recycle your mower should be easy.
