Amazing! You should try it too. I have reved up my recyling habits and instead of my garbage being picked up twice a week I only have to put it out once a week. Amazing! You should try it too.

They wasted valuable time from my small store. Its always the small struggling or money losing businesses that are asked to contribute. Of course, they wont walk into a big chain store and try to sell their pitch there. They ask for the small struggling businesses to contribute. Then, they reward people with discounts towards the big chains, hurting the small store even more. They are a bunch of time wasting solicitors.

The concept feeds on the fact that large cities don't want to be considered "Un Green". If residents have an incentive to participate, they will.

Communities contract with RecycleBank to provide a waste collection service which tracks each household's participation in curbside recycling by weighing labeled containers used by each household. It costs less to dispose of the waste of a community which recycles because the cost of waste disposal is largely determined by the tonnage of material that must be sent to landfills and incinerators. RecycleBank provides a means to distribute the savings directly to those who contribute to the reduction of the community's bill. If you have a private collection company, you can already reduce your bill by simply reducing the amount of waste you generate. Those of us who pay taxes depend on the behavior of the community as a whole to determine our expenses. RecycleBank provides an incentive for each household to recycle that is independent of their neighbor's recycling effort, or lack thereof. Irma,

If garbage companies can get you to recycle more or have a higher participation rate, then they have less weight on their trucks going to a dump that they must pay to dump. diversion, is the word they use.

I live in San Francisco. We currently pay our garbage company for the privilege of having them remove not only our regular waste, but also our paper/cans/glass recycling *and* our compostable recycling (kitchen and yard waste). Why would they suddenly agree to start paying me back for the waste I currently pay them to take? Or is this more of an idea to incent communities who are not currently recycling?
