Don’t throw them in your mixed paper or curbside recycling.
You can actually put them up for reuse through the St. Jude’s Ranch Recycled Card Program.
St. Jude’s Ranch for Children in Boulder City, Nev., will be accepting used greeting cards from all occasions through Feb. 28. Though this popular program was temporarily suspended, it’s back up again thanks to a recent reorganization.
Children make the cards new again by attaching a new back made with recycled paper. Cards are then sold in packets of 10 for $8. Children receive payment for their work and learn the benefits and importance of going green, according to St. Jude’s Web site, where you can place orders for the recycled cards by e-mail.
Send used cards for any occasion here:

Help: We had a reader call today asking if anyone is providing this service locally. Do you know of any schools or programs that reuse greeting cards? Write me here if you do.
