Earth Day New York and San Diego Earth Day kept the fledgling entity going for a number of years but ultimately invited Denis Hayes to become chairman of the organization in time for Earth Day 2000. Under Denis’ leadership the Network organized the world-wide events for the 30th Anniversary and has grown into an established Washington, DC-based organization that promotes environmental activism and year-round progressive action, domestically and internationally. Earth Day Network members include NGOs, quasi-governmental agencies, local governments, activists, and others. Earth Day Network members focus on environmental education; local, national, and global policies; public environmental campaigns; and organizing national and local earth day events to promote activism and environmental protection. The international network reaches more than 25,000 organizations in 192 countries, while the domestic program engages 10,000 groups and more than 100,000 educators coordinating millions of community development and environmental-protection activities throughout the year.

I had been wondering about that as someone told me they cannot be recycled.

We recently freecycled some blue bins through the Burlington Freecycle Yahoo group. We had picked up some new bigger boxes and ended up with too many blue bins (we have a family of 5, so need bigger recycle bins). But I did wonder what I would do if any of our blue bins broke and became unusable. Your blog says blue bins are recyclable but doesn’t specify HOW to recycle them. What is the process if someone has a blue box that is unusable and needs recycling?
