Ecco Bella, an all-natural beauty company, is asking people not to toss those old lipstick tubes in the garbage. Instead, for the entire month of August, Ecco Bella invites you to bring five of ANY empty lipstick containers to any store that sells their products. Not only will they take care of the recycling but you’ll even get a coupon for a free tube of your favorite lip-smacking color. Ecco Bella will be turning the recycled tubes into basketball backboards and donating them to schools in need. You can visit their website for retailers near you. Via ::Health ::Ecco Bella

GG, Ecco Bella's press release don't make clear whether it's ongoing or not - in any case, accepting a competitor's waste for recycling without financial gain is pretty cool, regardless of how long you do it.
