Back in the bad old days, many people had very limited access to recycling. There were all sorts of nasty systems, like tiny curbside boxes that *only* took newspaper and toilet rolls but *not* plain white paper or icecream containers but not yoghurt ones; or places you had to drive with big metal bins you had to chuck your things in one by one (the dumbest system ever for glass which just ended up broken every where).

I think we've come along way since then, and it seems like there are new or novel ways to recycle (or reuse) things. What are some you've heard of or use that other people may not know about?

For eg, my public library has a battery recycling tube at the front entrance. It's just as easy to remember to take your used batteries as it is to remember to return your books, and it seems to be very well used.
