We got a huge box that had contained styrofoam cups and painted it green. Add a recycling symbol, a picture of the earth and some wording and we had a dandy recycling box. Most of the ladies with whom I work have a multititude of physical disabilities as well, but all of them could at least wield a paintbrush to paint the box. Now, all our plastic bottles, aluminum cans, etc etc go in this box and when the box fills up, we take it to the outside recycling bin for the facility recycling program. Probably every business, educational or government entity could set up a program like this, if they don't have one already. All it takes is one person to start. :) I used a similar idea where I work (residential/teaching facility for adults with MR/DD).
