Tomorrow is the day that NYC recycling enforcement takes effect which means non-compliant businesses will receive fines.  These rules became effective August 1, 2016 but were not enforceable until one year later on August 1, 2017. The rules require all businesses in the city limits to "recycle certain materials and ensure to the best of their ability that those recyclable materials are properly handled by their private carter."  NYC Business Recycling Receptacle Our Made in USA stainless steel recycling bin is an example of a can that complies with NYC new business recycling regulations. It contains three waste streams that are color coded and labeled for easy identification. Paper goes in the green, trash goes in the white and black, and metal, plastic, and glass goes in the blue.

When I went to change the lightbulb on my electric garage door opener I ran into a surprise and I can't be the only one.  I couldn't find a lightbulb that fit!  The old burnt out 60 watt incandescent lightbulb that I removed could not be replaced by one of the new 60 watt LED equivalents.  Unfortunately I didn't realize this would be a problem and I didn't stockpile any of the old lightbulbs before they became extinct. The LED lightbulbs have an extended portion above the base before the glass portion of the bulb.  This built up portion blocked the lightbulb from going into my fixture opening.  I tried several brands of LED bulbs with the same result.  A CFL bulb has a similar built up portion and also wouldn't fit through my fixture opening. The portion of the bulb above the base prevented this LED lightbulb from fitting my electric garage door opener. To solve this problem, I found Chromalux full spectrum li...

Our slate address signs are popular for wall mounting but what happens if you want to lawn mount one?  Customer Randy Rettenberger did just that with our P1071 number sign with pine tree design .  First he framed it out, then he put a stake on it.  See these photos of how Randy used the product.

Last month we modified our wall mounted oval house sign at customer request to create a hanging 2-sided sign.  The finished result is shown here hanging from a decorative steel bracket that we also supplied.  This hanging sign is now available in 3 sizes.  Details at this link: https://www.comforthouse.com/hanging-oval-sign.html Comfort House P2387 Hanging Address Sign

Looking for the best electric blanket? Our electric blanket reviews and ratings for 2015 have been posted.  Includes heated mattress pads, heated throws, and other unique warming products such as our heated furniture cover. Please visit  http://www.comforthouse.com/electric-blanket-reviews.html.

Looking to buy an electric blanket made in USA? Then look no further because there is none to be found. The closest we come to heated bedding made in USA are heated mattress pads. A heated mattress pad, also known as an electric mattress pad, is a formidable competitor to a heated blanket. Their popularity has surged in recent years. Comfort House customers buy them 2 to 1 over blankets. In fact, the decision is not usually over which blanket to buy but rather should I buy a blanket or a mattress pad. ElectroWarmth Bed Warmer is made in USA. Our ElectroWarmth made in USA heated mattress pad is available in all sizes including the otherwise impossible to find heated bedding sizes of split queen, split king, king xl, and truck mattress. So you can stop your search for a made in USA blanket and consider a heated mattress pad instead. By Jeffrey Gornstein .
