Reduce, reuse ... freecycle!
Let's say you've got something around your home that you'd like to get rid of, like empty boxes from your last move or some craft supplies for that project you know you'll never actually get around to doing. Items too good to put in the garbabge, but not cool enough to bother hanging on to for a garage sale or trip to the resale shop.
So. why not put them up on www.freecycle.org? It's an online gathering place for people in your community to swap free stuff. You can list things you want to give away and also put up "wanted" posts for things you need or want. There are forums set up in cities all over the world! If there isn't one in your city, you can be the person to start one!
Happy freecycling!

Recycling in the workplace
If there are any companies that are thinking about initiating a recycling program at their facility. Have them ask for Julie at Midstates Recycling Services, part of the The Recycling Experts. The phone number is (800) 989-7036. We go to companies and help set-up programs to recycle paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, and electronics. We will then determine what the best plan of action is to implement a successful recycling program and collection for us to pick the materials up. We provide an Ecological Report to all of our clients that tells them how much material we collected from their facility and/or office that was recycled as well as a break down of the positive effects that it had on the environment.
