You already recycle, right?
You already recycle, right?n
n
n
nWhether you recycle using curbside recycling bins or you take them to a special recycling center, where you get money, you probably already recycle glass, aluminum, yard waste, and hopefully plastic and paper.
n
n
n
nBut today is a holiday to encourage EVERYONE in your community to recycle, as well by having some fun activities that focus on recyclable containers.
n
n
n
n
n
nHold crush-a-can contests, and see who is the fastest to crush 10 cans. (This guy is amazing!)
n
n
n
nHave a party. Use recyclables to decorate in innovative ways – and be sure to do some crushing with your guests! At the end of the party, of course, you can recycle everything for $$$.

Do some upcycling with aluminum cans. Remember, if you use, say, aluminum pull tabs to make something like a mesh-looking light, you will probably end up answering a lot of interested questions – and you can promote recycling to lots of people. When you no longer want the light, you can then recycle the pull tabs!
