The first step to recycling is to find out where. Ask your friends and look in the phone book. You can also call the Environmental Defense Fund at 1-800-CALL-EDF, to help you find a recycling center near you. Many cities have handy curb-side recycling pickups, in other areas, such as where we live, you take your recyclable materials to a central collection point. Save up your recyclables to make your trip to the collection station worthwhile...don't waste gas recycling!
Recycling is a good habit to develop. You can feel good about doing something positive to help reduce pollution and global warming. If your school or workplace is not yet recycling, get them started on this good habit also. ***
