In the professional organizing field, being a one-stop resource for recycling our client’s unwanted items is a priority. Have a one-stop resource would be great.

I have been recycling furniture, dishes, clothing, etc. since I came to this country. There is so much waste in the USA that all my furniture is used and it looks great. I have the money in order to buy new furniture, but I refuse to do so because it is not necessary. I am still finding ways to recycle everything. I make my compost, I reuse newspaper, by weaving baskets with etc. So I would like to see a copy of this book in order to see for new ideas.

I always shut off lights and computers on my way out of work, wonder if the bill goes up when im on vacation. I recycle at home too, bottles, cans, paper, plastic, boxes, etc. I would love to know more and would read it then bring it to work to share it with my co workers, maybe we can pay it forward and all learn something from it since we all love to read and recycle it may produce a butterfly effect;-). Please send me a book. Thanks.

My town was one of the 1st in the area to recycle many years ago, however, little progress has been made in the addition of more goods. Would love to have a copy of this to see if we can’t jumpstart the community once again with the info you’ve put together.

I would love a copy of the book. I live in a small town that has NO recycling program and I would like to see the ideas in this and use them to start a program.

I feel like I’m turning into an “eco-hoarder.” I’m increasingly frustrated by having perfectly usable items I can’t find a way to give away, and plenty of “unusables” that are supposed to be recycled, but there is nowhere to take them. So I hold onto things in the hopes of a new option opening up – I can’t bear to simply add to the pile created by our throw away society. Our town is very limited in what it will recycle (especially plastics), and our school system makes little effort to be “green.” I research online periodically, but would love to have a ready resource to browse through for new and old ideas. More importantly, I would love a “point to” resource to take to town and school administrators to foster new thinking about lessening their waste stream.

In my house we recycle everything! The recycling is always over flowing and the amount of garbage is small. I always use reusable water bottles and coffee cups. Most recently, I have begun to cut up the plastic grocery bags I have, making them into strips, then knitting them together to make a durable and reusable bag!
