Green Daily

Is your home overflowing with trophies from your overachieving life? Mine isn't either, but Planet Green has found some places you can donate a surplus of un-recyclable awards. If you're getting bored of little statues that remind you of when you were the fastest, strongest, weirdest or just plain awesome-est, you can ship them off to groups that can make that symbol of previous success into something more than a dust collector in your closet.

Art Inc. can take your award and recycle it into, well, art, and Creative Images re-uses trophies to give to children's groups and totally worthy causes like the Special Olympics. Awardex.com will reuse your trophy to make new awards that will eventually clutter someone else's home.

The green-friendly disposal of trophies hasn't kept me up at night as my trophy collection consists of grade school participation awards and a weird corporate trophy called the "Award for Spirit and Enthusiasm" (weird, because I only worked there for two months and was decidedly unenthusiastic).

But hey, if you're cleaning off that crowded trophy shelf, these are some worthy places to consider instead of shoving it in the trash or awarding random people on the street. Sound off on your own trophy disposal method in the comments below.
