paper • recycling • tickets

If you run some sort of activity that uses tickets (a carousel, for instance), consider switching from tickets to reusable tokens. My kids frequent a carousel where tickets are torn off and tossed in the trash moments later all day, every day. Hugely wasteful.

recycling • mail • paper

Put a recycling bin on every floor of your house. You're less likely to throw away paper and junk mail if you always have a recycling bin somewhat handy.

styrofoam • recycling • restaurants

Boycott styrofoam. Styrofoam (polystyrene) takes about 50 years to decompose, and is not easily recycled (they won't even take it where I live). It's pretty shocking that restaurants and places like Omaha Steaks still use it. Let restaurant managers know that the use of styrofoam is unacceptable.

recycling • batteries • rechargeable

Don't throw away your tools' rechargeable batteries when they no longer take a charge. Take them to Home Depot where you can drop them off for recycling.

shipping • recycling • mail • styrofoam

When you receive a package with styrofoam peanuts, don't throw them away. Dump them into a garbage bag and save them for when you need to ship something. Of course, you can also reuse most boxes you get, as well. This is probably one of the easiest and most efficient forms of recycling possible.
