Just came across this web site, which has some great programs to keep stuff out of landfills.

The yogurt container project sounds good, but so far is only one brand. There are others, though, that will be helpful if enough people take part. We have a recycling program, but they don't take all items and I'm sure lots of people are in that position. There are also gardening tips and they actually make products out of these items - tote bags, etc.
