It’s the 10^th anniversary of the only nationally recognized day dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and to buy recycled products. The section of the National Recycling Coalition website focused on the event provides information about its history, area events by state (the only one listed for Alabama is one in Guntersville; it starts at 10 a.m.), and provides a way for you to pledge that you will do your part.

One way you can do your part today is by taking items to the Alabama Environmental Council’s recycling center in downtown Birmingham. A list of accepted items are located on their website (and according to their site, they’re all set to take any of those items in today). My college advisor from my days in student government has found a few suggestions for something that we’ve seen a lot of recently – campaign signs.
