Recycling Old Trade Show Booths

I was out in the garage last night cleaning up some things when I noticed that we are getting to the point of needing to take our aluminum cans in to be recycled.  We are a green family as much as one can be in this day and age, growing some of our own food and having a compost pile and all the other things that we can do to conserve and recycle and reuse some of the stuff we have.  We are really trying to reduce our carbon footprint as well.

I began to think about all the different companies out there that are buying new trade show booths as they gear up for their marketing season in the convention and trade show world.  There are those companies out there that use their trade show booth for a single campaign and then go on to the next big thing.  What happens to the booth they were using?  Do they throw it out or do they let is sit in a warehouse someplace gathering dust and not being used?

Many companies now are recycling their old trade show booths and reusing some of the booths to be in their next show.  I love to read about trade show companies that make it easy to go green.  I am really wanting to hear from some of the trade show booth exhibit companies out there that are using recycled materials or are designing booths that can be reused and recycled.  I also want to know if there are companies that are making it possible to return booths to be recycled or reused by others.  We can reduce our footprint in the world of trade shows and conventions too.  Let me know how your companies are doing just that.  Are you recycling your trade show booth?
