The recycle bins themselves are the most important advertising there is. I recently got a large business in my area to donate 6 plastic bottle recycling bins for my school. Now everyday those kids are recycling their bottles instead of throwing them into the garbage. The best things to do are: put up signs, have a t-shirt fundraiser, use your school/business paper/e-mail newsletter to get the word out, start projects in your area such as getting recycling bins, planting trees, picking up litter, or having demonstrations. Just an example, I’m trying to get photovoltaic panels for a part of my school next year. Think big, my friend, think big.

Always choose companies that also support recycling and the environment and that can back up their claims.
For example, I work at 1-800-GOT-JUNK? and we specifically focus on disposing of the junk we pickup in an environmental way and do our best to divert waste from landfills. You can read more about our environmental policy here: http://www.1800gotjunk.com/us_en/about/Environment.aspx
If anyone else works at, or knows of, companies that support recycling and the environment it would be great if you could share.
recycling mobile, etc.
always show others as a leading example
