Recycling at the Library

Here's an interesting idea from American Libraries: why not start a recycling center at your library? Laura Bruzas submitted an article to American Libraries about how she started a recycling center in her library for less than $100. Here are her 3 simple steps:
1. Find a space for it.
2. Decide what you're going to recycle and buy a corresponding number of recycle bins.
3. Advertise it.

Pretty simple, if you have the space for it, and it might bring a whole lot of people into the library. You might even be able to find a 'green' volunteer to handle emptying the bins and taking it to be recycled.
