Hi, out there!
It's me, steve.
Have you seen blue, my puppy?
There she is!
Come on in.
[ Barking]
Oh, hi, you're just in time to help us clean up.
Blue, look who's here.
[ Gently scolding bark]
Oh, I'm sorry.
Where are my manners?
Come on in.
See, we're almost done cleaning up.
Okay... Uh...
Ooh, this empty tissue box.
Probably from when I had the sniffles.
[ Barks sympathetically]
Well, do you see anything else
We need to clean up?
[ Barks questioningly]
Milk carton!
Oh, this empty milk carton.
Thanks, blue.
[ Barks "you're welcome"]
You know, wouldn't it be great
If we could make something
Out of all this old stuff?
I mean, do we really just have to throw it away?
Yeah, you know, if we could turn this trash
Into something else.
Ooh, recycle it.
Yeah!
Well, what should we make out of recycled things?
[ Barking suggestion]
Oh, okay, we'll play "blue's clues"
To figure out what blue wants to make out of recycled things.
Blue's clues is my favorite game, you know.
[ Music begins playing]
♪ We are gonna play blue's clues ♪
♪ 'Cause it's really fun, yeah! ♪
Okay, so remember
Blue's paw print will be on the clues--
Blue's clues.
So, do you think we should just leave this paw print here?
No, me neither.
I think we should, uh...
We should recycle it.
But how?
Oh...
Oh, great idea, blue.
I bet we know
How she's going to use that paw print later, don't we?
Hey, do you know what we need for blue's clues?
Our...
Notebook!
Notebook, right.
Come on.
Hi, steve.
Need your notebook?
How'd you guess?
Because you always need your notebook.
Ooh, thanks.
Here it is.
You know, I think I'm going to especially need your help today
To figure out what blue wants to make out of recycled things.
Will you help me?
You will?
Great!
Okay, so to play blue's clues
We got to find a...

You know, I should probably wash my hands.
They're a little messy from all that trash, you know.
You know, I wonder where we'll find our first clue.
A clue, a clue!
Yeah, I know, I want to find a clue, too.
A clue!
Oh... Oh, you, you found it-- you found our first clue.

Okay, let's draw our first clue--
This old... Paper towel roll.
Okay, it has a circle at the end
And a long line that curves around like this
Then some short lines like that.
A paper towel roll, hmm...
So what could blue want to make
By recycling this paper towel roll?
What do you think?
Ooh, but... I, I think we need to find two more clues.
Nearby voices: recycle, recycle, recycle.
Did you say something?
I wonder who that is.
Hmm...
Whoa.
All three: it's recycle day!
Recycle, recycle, instead of just throwing away.
Hi, I'm paper.
I recycle paper.
Hello, I'm plastic.
I recycle plastic.
Hiya, I'm metal.
I recycle metal.
All: ready to recycle?
Uh, sure.
We have all this stuff we cleaned up.
But, uh, exactly how do I recycle this stuff?
First you give each of us our trash.
Oh, okay, so paper gets the, uh... Paper stuff
And, uh, metal gets the, uh... Metal stuff
And plastic gets the... Plastic stuff.
Yeah, you got it!
And then we bring the trash
To the recycling plant.
To be...
Recycled.
Got it.
Uh, you're going to help me with this, right?
Oh, great, because this is a big job.
Whew...
Ooh...
So in which bin
Should we recycle this empty soup can?
In metal!
Metal?
Yup.
The soup can is made out of metal.
Mmm, soup can.
Good recycling.
Okay, what's next?
Oh... This empty juice bottle.
Hmm...
Do you know which recycle bin this goes in?
In plastic!
Plastic... You think?
Juice bottle's made out of plastic, my favorite.
Good job.
Okay, let's see.
What else do we need to recycle?
Oh, how about this milk carton?
Hmm...
Do you know what bin
This milk carton belongs in?
In paper.
Paper... You think?
This milk carton is most definitely made out of paper.
Good recycling.
Okay.
Ooh...
Hmm...
In which recycle bin
Should we put this aluminum foil?
In metal.
Metal?
Aluminum foil is metal?
It certainly is.
Yum!
Great job.
I think that's it.
Okay, fall in!
A clue, a clue!
Something else-- you see something else
That needs to be recycled?
A clue, a clue!
Oh, the tissue box.
Wait, uh... Paper, definitely paper.
The tissue box is paper... And a clue!

Oh, a clue.
This tissue box is our second clue.
Okay, you know what to do, we need our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Right.
Okay, a tissue box.
Looks like a rectangle...
Then some lines to make a bottom
And then an oval right in the middle.
A tissue box.
So what was our first clue?
Paper towel roll.
A paper towel roll, right.
Now our second clue is this tissue box.
Hmm... So what could blue want to make out of recycled things
Like this here paper towel roll and this tissue box?

[ Barks hello]
Wow, look at all these recycled things.
Houses made of cardboard and hats made out of newspapers.
We did that, remember, blue?
[ Barks]
So where are we exactly?
Recycletown!
Oh, recycletown, that's right.
Hello.
Hello, I'm al luminum, mayor of recycletown.
[ Barks inquiringly]
You can call me al for short.
Oh, well, it's very nice to meet you, al.

Stu, come over here.
You need to help me out.
Okay.
[ Whispers]: stu?
Sure, how can we help?
And, uh, my name is steve.
Right.
Well, we recycle everything here in recycletown.
So do you see how I could recycle this cup?
Oh, so you want to use this empty paper cup
To make something else.
Cool.
Hmm.
Do you see what we could attach this cup to
To make something else?
Right there!
Put it there?
Put it over there with the other cup?
What would that make?
A telephone!
A telephone?
Oh, a telephone
Out of two cups and a string.
[ Barks hello]
Hello, blue.
We made a phone.
Good recycling-- a phone out of two cups.
Psst, stone!
It's steve.
Yeah, al?
Can you help me with another thing?
Sure, what is it?
I need to recycle this old tire.
Do you see what I can make with this old tire?
Hmm.
Do you see what we could make
By attaching that old tire to something?
A tire swing!
A tire swing?
Oh, we could attach that tire
Right to that tree.
A tire swing.
[ Barking happily]
Good recycling.
Okay, stan, one more thing.
It's steve.
[ Draws it out]: steve.
Right, and I'm al.
Okay.
So, looks like you need some more help.

What could we make with these?
Oh, those, those look like those plastic holders
That soda comes in.
So do you see what we could attach those to
To make something else for recycletown?
Make a net!
A net?
Oh, a net to play ball...
Out of plastic holders for soda.
That was brilliant recycling.
Yeah!
Thanks, blue and steve.
Oh, sure, hey, any time, sal.
[ Laughs]
I'm just... Because you called me...
Where's that music coming from?
[ Springy music playing]
Oh, oh, it's... It's a rubber band.
Cool.
A clue! A clue!
Oh, did you say, "a clue"?
Where?
Right there!
On the rubber band!
Oh.
Oh, those rubber bands are a clue.
And they sound great, too.
Okay, okay.
We know what to do.
We need our handy-dandy, recycle-michael notebook, right?
Okay.
Rubber bands.
All right, they have lines
That go around in a curvy oval shape...
One on the outside and another one on the inside.
Then a third one.
There-- rubber bands.
All right, so, so let's... Let's just think about this.
Oh, wait a minute.
We have all three clues.
You know what that means?
We're ready for our...
Thinking chair!
Thinking chair, yeah.
Let's go!
[ Barking happily]
Okay, now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
Okay, so we need to figure out what blue wants to make
Out of recycled things.
And our recycled clues are:
A paper towel roll...
A tissue box...
And rubber bands.
Hmm.
So what could blue want to make with a paper towel roll
An empty tissue box and rubber bands?
It's something that we make.
There's got to be something to make
Out of these recycled clues.
Ooh, what if... What if we put the rubber bands
Over the tissue box and then the paper towel roll attaches?
We could make a...
A guitar!
A guitar.
A guitar!
That's it!
That's brilliant!
Blue wants to make a guitar by using...
Using the tissue box as the body
And the rubber bands as the strings
And the paper towel roll as the neck!
