Question by stokedcoach: What are the top 10 recycling tips that you would recommend for either my home or office?
I’m looking for put together a massive list of recycling tips to share with others. I’d like 101 tips overall since that sounds kind of catchy. So I figure that if people give me 10 recommendations each, I can generate a list of recycling tips that large. Thanks!

Open the blinds instead of turning on the lights.
Keep your lights off the whole day until it gets dark and let the sun in ( unless it’s dark and rainy)
Bring your own totes to grocery stores.
Turn off the computer at night or whenever your not using it (whichever one)
Unplug hairdryers, hair straighteners, etc. (these still use energy while plugged in)
Buy energy efficient lights.

One of the biggest factors that is spreading around the world at the moment is mobile phone recycling. So if you have any old handsets lying around then you can trade these in.
Mobile phones contain harmful components that aren’t good for the environment we live in, having these recycled is a great way to help the planet because most phones traded in are sent to smelters who will reclaim the precious materials such as:
* Nickel and lithium is extracted from the batteries.
* Plastic and metal parts are stripped from the charger and accessories.
* Mixed plastics are melted down and reused.
* Gold (and other metal) is extracted and reused – reducing the need for mining.
Other phones are sent to third world countries in Africa and the Far East who will make great use of them.
