The essence of recycling is the cyclical movement of materials through the system, eliminating waste and the need to extract more virgin materials. Supporting recycling means feeding this loop by not only recycling, but also supporting recycled products. We can now find high recycled content in everything from printer paper to office chairs.
If you can't find or afford these items, you can look at the packaging you are buying - is it in a container that can be recycled? I buy milk in plastic jugs because I can't recycle the cardboard containers in my area.
