the old hopechest has cloth lining it and i doubt i can rip it out to replace it. i left it outside open for like two weeks and it didnt work. then i tried baking soda with it closed, that didnt work either, then i tried spraying it with disinfectant spray and leaving a portable air freshener in it, and the smell still came back.....any suggestions?


Answer
Two words - FRIDGE IT.
Someone else also mentioned charcoal. Go get a few of those Fridge It activated carbon odor absorbers. - little purple cube - don't waste money on the imitations. Just put them in the chest and forget about it.Totally unscented so it actually eliminates odor rather than covering up with some nasty fragrance and totally safe to use.
I've used these for spilled something in my purse, closets, cabinets,worst smells in fridge and ice in freezer. Also, took care of spoiled fish in car which was really bad. Also have two cats and use these on litter box - they are FANTASTIC No spills or chemicals to worry about. You can buy these in kitchen gadget stores or just go direct which is what I do - contact them at customerservice@innofresh.com and ask for order form. You get it right away.
Definitely the way to go. try it.
Good luck

How/What can you do with old phones, and tv's to recycle them. Can they be used for parts for other new items?

Could they be used to repair old? Someone could take the plastic off these items and melt them down to use for other items. (Instead of it piling up in the city dump.)


Answer
Donate or recycle your gadgets.

Old electronics clog landfills. About 130 million mobile phones are retired every year, resulting in more than 65,000 tons of waste, including potentially hazardous materials such as lead and mercury.

Don't toss out your old cell phone; donate it to a charity.
