Fed up with your Twitter stream being cluttered with useless tweets? Rather than go on an unfollowing-spree, use it as an opportunity to recycle your friends tweets and raise money for getTRASHED, a recycling education program.

Re:cycled Tweets is a new program from GetTRASHED.org and McKinney's that allows you to recycle your friends boring tweets, in turn saving your social media experience, and saving the planet as well.

How do you recycle a tweet?

- @ reply to someone who posted something super lame/boring/useless.

- Copy & paste their original tweet, but include the hashtag #recyclethis.

- Recyledtweets.com will "recycle it" and send them a new, transformed tweet crafted from the characters of their original tweet.

For each recycled tweet, $.01 will be donated to getTRASHED.org, an ongoing recycling education program that redefines the way people view recycling and trash collection.

When you think of the abundance of silly tweets in need of 'recycling' out there, this could seriously make millions. Get recycling now!

Don't forget to follow us on Twitter, @SocialVibe, we won't even mind if you recycle our tweets!
