Want to RecycleMe?

Let’s face it: Sometimes it’s hard to know what you can and cannot recycle. Beyond that, if you have items that can be recycled, what do you do with them?

Earth911.com spends a great deal of time thinking about how to make recycling and proper disposal (i.e: what you do with your waste if it can’t go in the landfill or recycle bin) easier to understand and find in your community. Our stories, database and tools (like our new iPhone app) are all designed to help you learn more about your local recycling options.

One of the ways we’ve tried to simplify the complex world of recycling is to help people know more about how to recycle or properly dispose of the products they use every day. Along these lines, we developed RecycleMe™ Labeling Solutions, the only recommended consumer recycling label by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.

How Do I Get RecycleMe?

RecycleMe is for businesses that are looking to better educate their consumers about what to do with their products at the end of their usable lives. RecycleMe™ Labeling is simple: Use our name and mark or your own to communicate recycling and proper disposal information to your customers. Our applications seamlessly integrate with your marketing initiatives. Examples include:

  • The Earth911.com or RecycleMe™ name and logo
  • The 1-800-CLEANUP toll-free hot line
  • YourDomainName.com (especially helpful when combined with our Search Syndication)
  • An SMS text message search

Each of our solutions is fully customizable to reflect the Earth911.com brand or your own. Either way, you’re taking another step in the right direction to make sure your product is treated in an environmentally friendly way.

If you’re interested in any of the topics we write about, send a message to Earth911 to learn more.

    We have taken a slightly different approach to encourage people to recycle. We believe that there needs to be a stronger incentive for people to start recycling. And that incentive is being able to profit from recycling. So, we have created a website, http://sodacans.org, where people can make extra cash by selling and by helping to sell, domestic recyclable items like soda cans, plastic/glass bottles, etc.
