Monday, December 14, 2009 by Craig Zamary

We hear a lot of bad news lately when it comes to the economy, but there's still a lot of positive stories about companies going green, new green inventions, energy innovation, and the Best Green Companies.

Meet these student entrepreneurs who recently launched a business out of their Dorm Room, and will be moving into a new 4,000 square feet office space.

History: Bob and Rich, friends and founders of YouRenew.com, launched this green business out of their dorm room at Yale University.

What do they do? According to their site YouRenew.com is here to make sure that you get paid for being good to the environment. They pay you to recycle. On their site they say "No seriously — we actually will pay you to recycle your old electronic devices. If the device doesn't have any value, we’ll pay for you to ship it to us for recycling. For every device we take in, we contribute to environmental causes."

Yourenew.com - Two Green Thumbs Up AwardGreen Energy TV has given YouRenew.com the Two Green Thumbs Up Award for being one of the Best Green Companies.

They are also launching a site for Companies. Its called CorporateRenew.com. The site, which functions similarly to YouRenew, aims to make it easier for companies to unload and recycle unwanted devices.
