Where do you get your photos from? Can I use them for something about recycling?
We try to take them ourselves - and when we do, we upload the resulting high resolution pictures to our Flickr account - http://www.flickr.com/photos/87481332@N00/. The photos shown on there are all Creative Commons (Attribution) licensed so you can use them as you please - just make sure you give “How can I recycle this?” a credit (and a link, if you’re being nice).

The rest of the photos - when we’re too lazy or can’t take the picture ourselves - are taken from the free stock photography available through http://www.sxc.hu. We always credit the original artist and, where necessary, have contacted them directly to ask permission to use them on the site. If you want to use a photo credited to someone through sxc.hu, you’d be better off searching the archive and contacting the snapper yourself - you’ll get a much higher resolution picture than the ones we use on here too.

(Update: we’ve set up a Recycle This account on SXC now too if you can’t access the Flickr ones - you have to be logged in to download the full size images though - http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=gallery&l=recyclthis)

How often is the site updated?
Posts are, um, posted three times a week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Comments can be added at any time.
