The word "recycle" usually conjures up images of blue boxes piled with newspapers, glass and metal cans.

She recently bought a house that needed renovations to accommodate the scooter she uses to get around due to multiple sclerosis. She had to widen 30 doorways, put in ramps to get in and out of the house and make other improvements.
