Recycle Archives - The Motherhood | A Social Media Marketing Agency

Did you know that only 1 in 5 Americans recycle in the bathroom? Its important to remember the small things we can do to help our planet each and every day! With America Recycles Day happening this Saturday, The Motherhood is so excited to be partnering with the Johnson & Johnson Family of Consumer Companies for a #CareToRecycle Twitter party on Thursday, Nov. 14 at 1 pm EST!

America Recycles Day is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to recycling. Care To Recycle^® encourages you to join in on the bathroom recycling conversation using #CareToRecycle during the party and share your own tips for recycling or tell us how you plan to recognize America Recycles Day!

You can also visit the Care to Recycle^® website to find helpful information such as where to recycle, what to recycle and ideas for bathroom recycling projects!

Don’t forget to RSVP here, and encourage others to make a difference by recycling!

Prizes! We will be giving away five $25 gift cards throughout the party for correct answers to trivia questions. Prizes are U.S. only, age 18 and up. No purchase necessary, void where prohibited.

In the kitchen, you probably recycle empty cans, milk jugs and glass containers. At the office, used notepaper and empty envelopes go in the blue bin. But in the bathroom, all too often, everything from cardboard toilet paper rolls to shampoo bottles is put straight into the garbage.

One year ago this month, after learning that many of us forget to recycle in the bathroom – where most of their products are used – Johnson & Johnson launched a wonderful resource on Tumblr called Care To Recycle^®, where you can find helpful information about where, what and how to recycle.

Now through November 6, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the site launch, you can participate in a scavenger hunt on the Care to Recycle^®page to claim rewards such as gift cards, electronics, household products and eco-friendly gifts. Here’s how it works!

Visit the Tumblr page and look for “Hunt Hint” posts.
Posted throughout the page, you’ll find posts that answer the “Hunt Hints.” Each answer post includes a 1-Year Anniversary badge in the upper left-hand corner (shaped like a “1” candle).
When you’ve found an answer post, click the “Earn Points” button to claim 10 points from Care To Recycle® partner Recyclebank. Points will go toward earning prizes.

And while you’re at it, set yourself up for success when it comes to recycling in the bathroom with these tips, compiled from just a few of the many that can be found on the Care To Recycle® page!

Put an extra basket in the bathroom so you can easily separate trash and recycling on the spot.
Give empty bottles just a quick rinse before they go in the recycling bin. You don’t need to remove every drop of the contents or peel off the label – what could be easier?
Remember that paperboard is mostly recyclable. That includes toilet paper rolls and many cartons for over-the-counter soaps, Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages and more.
