110: Bring on the BRING Recycling

With Earth Dy imminent, I thought I would focus today on recycling, and BRING Recycling has been making strides in recycling, up-cycling, reusing, and advocating for better waste management for quite some time.

BRING Recycling is one of the nation's oldest non-profit recyclers. Since 1971, we have encouraged people to rethink what they use and what they throw away. We help our community keep useful items out of the landfill, find ways to use less stuff, reuse as many things as possible and recycle the rest. From collecting and processing household recyclables to teaching kids about using earthworms to compost, BRING has a wealth of information, practical tips and programs to help you live sustainably in Lane County (http://www.bringrecycling.org/home/brg/smartlist_14/)

Aside from advocacy, education, home and garden tours, and free business counsel, BRING has a store carrying building materials, garden supplies, and other reusables. On this page http://www.bringrecycling.org/home/brg/smartlist_29/where_to_take_it.html, BRING provides links of where to take things they cannot accept. For more about Community Education, Youth Programs, and Teacher Resources, you can check out this page http://www.bringrecycling.org/home/brg/smartlist_9/learn_at_bring.html. If you are an up-cycler, check out the events page for cool ideas or to submit your projects. On Earth Day, BRING will  be judging this year's coolest product designs, and I think I may have to enter that contest next year. Happy almost Earth Day.
