Little Free Library recyling books.

Recycle books the Little Free Library. 
Wrote about these communities that have put up in their yards "Little Free Library".  That anyone can take books out and return them free of charge.

What they do is put up a container in different styles of houses, train cabooses and a wooden library made by a cabinetmaker. 
Barker started his to honor his wife.  He is avid book collector that's when he came up with this idea when he read an article about setting up a free library in his community.
In his miniature library house containers provide several book shelves. 
Some of his Books are both fiction and non fiction.  This is a great way for recycling books and providing reading materials for the small rural communities that do not have
any excess to a public library.  
It also recycles Books that other wise would sit on shelves. Their getting read by
all sorts of people who other wise wouldn't have the resources to purchase these books.  
By Barker keeping these books in circulations makes for one good recyclers program that keeps on giving.  This is such a good idea for any community.  Some include
children's books as well.  There seems to be encouraging reading for all walks of life.
This is a good thing.  He also mentioned about being able to meet his neighbors through these libraries.

It helps the children as well.
Wouldn't it be a good idea for you to set up one.  Just a thought.

Recycle musical Instruments programs.

School programs donate used instruments.

Recycle musical Instruments.  Donate to local schools in your area used or new instruments.  Most programs are in your have local instrument donation programs set
up in school music classes.  They have band in most of the schools.  Program is aimed
for children from low income families; who do not have the finances to support the music programs fees.

These programs will put to good use those unused instruments.  While giving them to children who other wise would not be able to join the school band.  It will also
recycle them to good use.  Playing and learning how to play a musical instrument
may help children stay out of trouble.  So if you have an instrument it would be
very helpful to donate it to a good program.  Than it can be recycled over and over again.
Most local school systems will have a day scheduled for collecting musical instruments.  So donate any instruments that will go to a good cause.
I thank you and so do the children..

Recycle bicycles parts.

Recycle a bicycles. Bicycle parts and miscellaneous tools for fixing them. This is a great idea for your community to donate their used bicycles. Than recycle them by giving them to the children who complete the program. 


Bike red blinker for the back or front usage.  If you live in the country were there are no sidewalks.  You could use this light for warning on coming cars.  Have your children always walk toward  the cars so they can see them coming.  This will give them time to get to safety.
 "Earn a Bike Program" for children in grades 5-8.   
Than high school students will be employed to train and teach the elementary and middle school students participating in the after school programs giving instructions on, how to maintain their bicycles?

By completing the safety course and doing community service along with submission of a book report. Students completing the program will also get a helmet and lock for their bikes. 
This such a great idea for any community in helping a child obtain their first bike but teaching them the safety rules and showing them how to maintain it. There are a lot of children out there that parents can't afford to buy their kid a bike.   But with earning a bike program helps these parents.  

 For further information on this program that was started in our community you can call (262) 595-2651 or send a email to morey@uwp.edu
