Recycling Picture of the Week: “Foiled” Pictures
This week’s recycling picture was sent to us by Robin Baumgartner, Public Education Coordinator for Southern Idaho Solid Waste. Below is the text of her message:
“I didn’t take this picture, hence the link. I received Blue October’s ‘Foiled’ CD for my birthday, and when I opened up the liner notes, I saw this photo and immediately exclaimed ‘I KNEW there was a reason I liked this band - they’re at a recycling center!’ Of course, I was immediately dubbed ‘trash nerd of the decade’ by my friends, but oh well. Check out the background of the picture at www.blueoctoberfan.com/foiled/gallery/promogallery/pages/9853.html”
Bonus! The link above is a photo slideshow. To see the entire set of pictures, sit back and relax, they automatically swap - Brian

Recycling Picture of the Week: Grand Canyon
This week’s picture comes to us from our dedicated reader Charlene Gallagher!
Here’s the text of the message she sent along with the picture:
“Hi guys! Just got back from my 3 week ride down south! Thought you would get a kick out of this picture. “Little Green” and I went 4300 miles and saw lots of beautiful country. The Grand Canyon was spectacular along with the other National Parks I rode through. Happy Trails!! Char”
Recycling Picture of the Week: Romania
Faithful reader Craig Benton has provided us the following picture:
Just thought that I would send a picture from Europe. Here is a shot of a man collecting recyclable metal in Bucharest Romania. The country is poor but is about to join the European Union next year. Things are now looking up after so many decades of communist domination.
Recycling Picture of the Week: Costa Rica
I was able to snap a few shots of just a couple of the abundant recycling containers scattered about the country. Most of the places we visited were modernized and so they offered recycling containers for a variety of items. Below are the pictures of the containers at INBioparque, a natural habitat “theme park” just outside San Jose. This was where we were able to see a couple sloth, thousands of butterflies, iguanas, crocodiles, turtles and a large variety of plants.
The other two are the containers offered at Carara National Park, on the Pacific Coast side of Costa Rica. And lastly, the English language containers I saw at the Selvatura Canopy Adventure. If you ever have a chance to visit Costa Rica, I definitely recommend doing a canopy tour. We zip lined through the tree tops, way above the forest floor. The views were absolutely amazing! - Brian
