Simply "Cycle" Saturday

This week I thought I would list different types of places that will take recycled items. If you are interested in recycling instead of reusing items, this will be the post for you! Some of you may have recycle bins that get picked up every week from your home. If this is the case, you can more easily recycle most of your everyday items. If you live in the St. Louis area, here are some centers listed.

There are some items that you can still recycle and make money. These are the following:

• Aluminum: This includes cans, foils, etc. A Recycling Revolution has a search link that you can enter your location and see where your nearest aluminum recycle center is. The Can Manufacturers Institute has some fun facts about can recycling. Around the country can prices are averaging $.50/lb.
• Glass: There are some places that still have glass recycle centers that pay. Not all glass can be recycled for cash. How do you know if you can receive cash for your glass? If it has a cash value printed on it. For instance, glass soda bottles have a $.05 value printed on some of them & states in which this can be redeemed.
• Scrap Metal: Check your local phone books for scrapmetal centers near you. They will pay by the pound for scrap metal. This includes cars, sheds, etc.
• Books: Rather than making money, you can trade your used books for other used books. This helps to keep the books in circulation and good use. You can trade your used books at Paperbackswap. You can also donate your used books at your local library. This is tax deductible. Be sure to ask the librarian to give you a tax receipt for your donation.
• Leftovers: This is a facility located in St. Charles, MO that accepts a large variety of recycleable items. They will in exchange give you in-store credit for the items you recycle. If you have an art/craft project that you are interested in and need supplies for, this is perfect! Check your local phone book for recycle places like this.

Other Recycle Location Ideas:

• The Recycling Center has a search engine for you to see where local recycle centers are.
• Salvation Army or Goodwill will take any items that you no longer want. If they are unable to resell these items, they will recycle them to the appropriate facilities. These donations of your used items are tax deductible. Be sure to ask the recipient of your items to give you a tax receipt.

Be Sure to Thank Your Source

How to grow your readership the respectful way:

One of the most important things in blogging is to credit your source. If you find great material on another site that you would like to share with your blog readers, it is very important to ask the original writer if you can use their information and credit them!

Just think of it "If that was me, what would I want them to do?" Most bloggers don't mind you posting things that they did as long as you credit them for doing the work and the research! If you aren't sure, it never hurts to ask.

For instance, if you see a printable coupon posted on another blog that you think is great, post it on your blog with a link to the original blog that you saw it at. Even though the coupon is public access, it was seen by you through the other blog so giving them props for finding it and crediting them is very respectful.

If the material is written by a blogger, like a story or articles like Simply "Cycle" Saturday, it is very important to ask the blogger if you can post some of the material or a link to their article. If you use it without doing so, it is considered plagerism. They own the rights to the material.

By doing this, you will gain the respect of other bloggers and they are more likely to share your information with others which will help to grow your readership. Just thought I would share this great way to help properly promote your blog.

FREE Movie Monday!!!

Here is the code for today's FREE movie:

K6W3G4

(Note: I had trouble with this code today and contacted Redbox. I will post a new code when they sent it to me.)

Remember that you can get as many FREE movies with this code as you have credit cards.You have until midnight tonight to use this code before it expires.As long as you return the movies by 9pm Tuesday, you will never be charged a cent for these movies!

First time renting from a Redbox?

If so, use code:

DVDONME

before the code above and get twice the movies.

You can then use each of your credit cards if you so choose and then use the same ones again with the code above and get a whole bundle of movies!

Yet another great FREE code if you have not used it yet is:
BREAKROOM
You can use this anytime and with as many credit cards as you have! I will give you 1 day FREE!
