Any ideas for recycling and re-using?

Here's some ideas how to recycle Books and Magazines: Donate books to a library. Sell college books directly to other students (by-passing the college bookstore) and let them save a TON of money. Set up a table at your church where people can drop off their old magazines and other people can buy them for 50 cents. Then give the money to charity. Use cool magazine pictures as envelopes. Make bath toys by cutting pictures out of a magazine and covering them with contact paper, leaving a one-half inch lip around each piece to allow it to seal. When these pieces get wet, they will stick to the bathroom tile. Use old magazines to make cool collages for gifts.

my husband is doing scapping in his spare time to clean up stuff from going to the landfills and making money at it.

i am from marikina philippines. and here in our city people do recycle things. we separate all the trash, plastic bottles can be sold and so as the can for them to re use it. the papers also such as news papers can be sold for it can be made new papers. there is also a program here on public schools were student will bring any thing that can be recycled then they will give the student notebooks exchange for the thing they brought at school.

At our office, we use the back clear page of documents paper to save the good documents paper. And also to save money. We also recycling waste. We seperate recyclable materials to non recyclable. I also apply it at home.

Hi ideaman! The plastic bags and brown bags that I get from the groceries and other stores, we re-use them over and over again until it is worn out. By that time, we will be using it to put our garbage. And as for the dried leaves in our garden, the peeled skins of the fruits and vegetables, we dry them and mix them with our garden soil to act as fertilizers. The small tin cans, we use to plant some seedlings and the big tin cans we have, we use them to re-plant bigger plants. What we do is we just put some designs or paint the cans so they will look pretty in our garden. Take care and have a nice day!
