recycletude

An individual's, a family's, or an organization's attitude toward recycling. This may include the approach toward recycling of materials; or penchant for shopping at thrift/consignment stores, or participating in garage/yard sales.

Our neighbors had great recycletude: they always filled their recycling bin to the rim, they usually shopped at thrift stores, and they held regular and well-attended yard sales.

Origin (as far as I know): Universal Furnishings & Offerings (U.F.O.) is an eclectic home decor store in Phoenix AZ. The owner, Leonardo, told me that he created the word (among many others). The word is on the price-tag of all items for sale in the store. I believe that he would agree with the definition I have written and submitted above.
