Recycle Amundo

El recyclo, por favor? I'm pretty sure that's right.

Anyway, recycling has become the fastest way for businesses to appear to be green. It requires little on their part, is quick to set up, and generally has a positive impact on both their image and the local land fill.

A lot of businesses are recycling everything from paper to plastic to bottles and more. The current favorite is "small electronics" (kind of a recycling industry code for "cell phones"). Since all the trendy Paris Hilton types seem to toss their phones for new models every six months or so, the pileup of old cells can get deep quick.

Well, here are some locations you can take your old cell phones and small electronics (pagers, MP3 players, RFID implants, radios, NSA tracking devices, and so forth) to recycle them, free of charge:

Best Buy (they also accept larger stuff like computers, TVs, etc.)
The United States Post Office
Speaking of the mail, DuPont's new Tyvek envelopes are 100% recyclable too.

So far, the list is small, but if you have other things to recycle like aluminum or paper, there are also a lot of local resources for doing that.
