The good folks at Co-op America, a non-profit organization working to harness economic power for social change, has found some great ways to give some of your household throwaways a second life. So if you are already doing some good by recycling your glass, paper, plastic & aluminum, here's even more ways to keep your garbage out of the landfill....Recycleplace.com pays 10 cents to $10 each for used up ink & toner cartridges.
Collectivegood.com recycles old cell phones and PDAs. Some are refurbished for use in the developing world.
Ikea recycles compact florescent bulbs.
Oneworldrunning.com distributes gently used running shoes to athletes in Africa & Latin America. Shoes that are beyond salvaging can be turned into athletic flooring at nikereuseashoe.com.
