Recycle Your Used Greeting Cards

When the holidays are over, I’m typically faced with a pile of used greeting cards, that I’m not quite sure what to do with. I feel guilty just throwing them away, but I also don’t want to wind up being featured on Hoarders for saving multiple shoe boxes of cards each year!

Here’s a solution:

Send your used greeting cards to St. Jude’s Ranch Recycled Card Program!

From their website:

Recycled Card Program History

Over thirty years ago, wishing to show our donors appreciation for making St. Jude’s Ranch for Children possible, the idea was conceived for turning the previous year’s Christmas cards into “new” cards for the coming season. The recipients were so delighted with their unique “thank you,” they requested the children sell them the special cards. And so, the St. Jude’s Ranch Recycled Card Program was born.

Since then, the Program expanded to include all occasion greeting cards… just about anything that starts with a used greeting card front. People from all over the world have sent us their used card fronts!

The children participate in making the new cards by removing the front and attaching a new back. The result is a beautiful new card made by the children and volunteers. The benefits are two-fold: customers receive “green” holiday cards for use and the children receive payment for their work and learn the benefits and importance of “going green”.

The ongoing support for the Recycled Card Program has been overwhelming! The Program grew and soon we were receiving over one million cards. We temporarily suspended the Program while we redesigned the process to more efficiently manage the increased production from the increased volume.

The program is accepting used, all-occasion cards now through February 28, 2010.

Tomato Cards in the News

Check out the blurb about our company in today’s Times.com article:

Picture 9

The economy may be showing signs of perking up, but the recession’s gloom has hit the holiday-card industry. Greeting-card giant Hallmark has rolled out some 25 new recession-themed cards this year — up from just five last year. “We can say it: This wasn’t the year that any of us had hoped for,” reads one gold-inked card. Another shows a small Christmas tree with three wrapped presents underneath: “We don’t have to have a lot to have everything.”

It’s a sharp dose of sobriety for the card company known for purveying sunny good cheer. This year’s offerings are not “sugarcoated or idealistic,” says Mark Andrews, product manager for Hallmark’s holiday-card division.

Some card companies are tackling the punishing economy with humor. DCI Studios has a Christmas card that doubles as a “new guide to the stock market.” Some useful terms: “Broker: What we are this year compared to last year. Merrill Lynch: What we want to do to Merrill. Liquid assets: beer, scotch, vodka, whatever helps.”
