Recycle corks • 02.27.08
Some restaurants go through a lot of wine… and a lot of wine can mean a lot of cork. You should think about doing something with them.
Currently lighting up the blogs, Recycle Cork USA in York, Pennsylvania is promoting a “Korks 4 Kids” charity program to collect corks for children’s charities. There isn’t a lot of information on this organization outside the website and the various blogs pointing to it. They’ve been around a little more than a year.

Another option is Yemm & Hart in Missouri, which has a longer track record with a slightly different program.
It’s not the newest of ideas, and the rest of the world is at it as well… a couple other examples:
In Ontario, Canada, see Bag-A-Cork.
In Australia, see Friends of the Zoos.
