RecycleBank - Get 'Paid' To Recycle

03/17/2006

I HATE those free coupons you get in the mail. We don't even have a letterbox and suffer all the hardships of not getting mail because we hate it so much. (Actually that's not strictly true, we hate it and we're lazy and we have alternative ways of receiving mail...) Anyway if you're in the US and like to recycle, then why not use RecycleBank? Basically, they provide you with a bin complete with barcode, that gets scanned when your recycling is picked up. As you recycle you earn points, and when you earn enough, sign into their website and choose the coupons you want (like $2 off every $20 you spend at the supermarket) Business 'donate' these coupons in return for the advertising they get as a result of their coupons (pretty sweet deal if you ask me). And everyone is happy. 

RecycleBank isn't 100% clear on how they actually run their business side of things, but the basic gist is that they earn money from cities reducing landfill fees, so you get the service for free.

 Interesting idea huh? We are so wasteful, there is money to be made in doing easy stuff to reduce it. Good on them.

The councils in England for the most part, make you pay extra to have your recyling taken away.
We are a recyling household and our local council doesn't offer to take one's recyling away at all. So, we have to go down to one of the many recyling centres near us.
And as we sit there, waiting in the que, with our engine turned off, we are amazed at how much our recyling is actually being cancelled out, due to everyone else sitting in their cars with their engines turned on.

In regards to our junk mail, we just write 'return to sender' or use the free envolpes enclosed with free postage to return them back to the company that have bombarded us with their spam snail mail.
Let the corporations recycle:-p

You're joking! Man that is some seriously bad 'recycling' efforts! Someone there could easily start a recycling collection service and get people to pay for it. In NZ at least, we get a free service - even though here in Ohope there are no plastic recycling facilities so all that goes to the landfills (which leave me in a state of permanant guilt).
It's incredible how slow governments are to catch on, but then I suppose it's an opportunity for those with the drive and ability to get something started.
