 This year we didn’t receive as many Christmas cards as we normally do…(which I think has something to do with the economy). We still ended up with some cards though and a lot of us including myself wonder what to do with them. In the past,  I’ve packed them away before as keepsakes until I  realized it was ridiculous to do so as I had too many boxes taking up wasted space. I’m on of those kind of people that have a hard time letting go and can be a pack rat- but I getting better and it’s a goal for the New Year to be clutter free. Other years, I’ve tossed them into my recycling bin and bid them farewell just as I was preparing myself to do so for New Year.

This year I found out about a great program- The St. Jude’s Ranch Recycling Card Program!

From now until February 28, 2009, you can donate/send your holiday OR all occasion cards to:

St. Jude’s Ranch for Children
Card Recycling Program
100 St. Jude’s Street
Boulder City, NV 89005

This program began over 30 years ago it started with just Christmas cards but expanded to all occassion. The children of St. Jude turn the old cards into new. The children also receive payment for their hard work and learn the advantages of going green while doing so.

I think program is super  eco cool. I’ve already started my envelope and have a pile of cards (from previous boxes too- wink, wink, both X-Mas and all occassion). Another great alternative for your holiday waste plus you’ll be supporting a great cause.

What are you planning to do with your Christmas cards this year?!!?! Why not, donate them to support a good cause.

Have any X-Mas card recycling tips to share, pls. feel free!
