There are many ways to recycle numerous products that normally cannot go into the recycling stream.  Have you wanted to do something with juice pouches, broken crayons, yogurt cups, plastic tubs or film canisters? Do you have left-over building materials you won't need? Reuse these items by creating nifty craft projects or by donating them to organizations.  Some of these organizations will even pay the postage!
