Considering our partnership with RecycleBank, it’s worth taking a look at what Recycle Bank does. Watch this:
It’s not only ‘cash for your trash’ but also a way of injecting money into the local economy because of the hundreds of local retail partners who redeedm the points earned.
The raison d’etre for RecycleBank is so obvious. The way to be involved is simple. An average American family generates about 2.5 tons of garbage a year. With RecycleBank’s program, that tracks each family’s contribution to the blue bin using a small RFID chip, the points a famiuly earns from trash adds up. That takes care of People and Profits
As for the third P, the benefit to the planet are staggering. As of today, those participating in RecycleBank have saved some 3,146,123 trees –a number that can be tracked daily, as you keep tab on the points in your ‘bank.’
