Recycle that Cork!

Categories: DIY + How To, Modern Decor + Objects, Sustainability

Wine CorksWe are great about recycling our wine and champagne bottles, but what are we supposed to do with all those corks?

It'll cost you a little postage, but Yemm & Hart Ltd, a small green building company in Missouri, will gladly take them off your hands….and with 15 billion corks in circulation around the globe each year, it might not be a bad idea.

What does Yemm & Hart do with all those little poppers (one and a half tons of them to date)?  Floor tiles, of course, and they'll even return a complimentary sample. Check out the website link for further information on the program or mail your corks to:

Wine Cork Recycling: Yemm & Hart Ltd., 425 North Chamber Dr., Fredericktown, MO 63645
