Recycling electronics - in answer to Anonymous and Michelle Oldroyd
Some companies will take their products back if they are broken and reuse the nonbroken parts or refurbish them. But if the company of your cell phone, battery, computer parts, etc. won't take your electronics that don't work anymore, find a local BestBuy and they'll take it - no matter what it is! Go to this website and it'll tell you everything you need:

Where to Return old, used Propane Tanks - in answer to Anonymous
Propane Tanks can be dangerous when just sitting around, even when they're empty. So difinitely do something with them. I suggest recycling them! You can drop them off at a scrap yard for the metal to be used again, or check if your local recycling center will accept them. Here's a link to Exchange Options and Recycling Options for propane tanks:

Where & Cost of Recycling Long Fluorescent Tubes - in answer to Carla
As far as I could find out, recycling/returning long fluorescent tubes (CFLs?) is free, or may require a small fee at a waste collection agency. At this website, there is a lot more information on where and how to recycle them - and why it is important to. In answer to your other question about water usage vs. landfill space, I couldn't find any studies. However, I do know that it does take water to rinse the objects you are recycling, but not a super huge amount. It just can't have huge globs of food all over it still.
