Hi Sam,
It's great that you are listing upcoming recycling and reuse opportunities on your blog!

Your readers may be interested in the Office of Recycling Outreach and Education, a project of Council on the Environment of New York City. Our goal is to increase participation in the New York City Recycling Program. We provide information about how to recycle more effectively. That makes recycling easier, so more people recycle.
