What to do with the some of the cosmetics one finds on the beach? I just found out that you can actually reuse and or recycle mascara wands. I find maybe 6 mascara tubes a year. Not too much, but it is always good to know you can recycle at least a part of them.
A wildlife refuge uses these to clean oil, larvae, fly eggs, mites, infections and other contaminants from wildlife. They can be used for medical care and wound treatment.
It is easy to clean, with liquid soap, and place in bag and mail off.

This is great news, as there is 1 tube of Maybelline Mascara is sold every 2 seconds, which means that is alot of mascara – plastic going into our landfills and oceans.
