Recycling Incentives
Although we all know recycling is beneficial for the environment, we don’t get immediate satisfaction when we do this good deed. Recycling is easy to do, but it takes time out of our busy lives. If your garbage service doesn’t offer recycling, you might have to drive to a recycling center. Your recycling probably piles up, because sometimes it’s the last thing on your mind. But how would you feel if you were monetarily rewarded for your good doing?
RecycleBank encourages people to recycle by rewarding the time you have spent. To find out if their services are available in your area, fill out their online form. If their services are available to you, all you do is place your recyclables into a specially marked container (no sorting required). Then RecycleBank records your recyclables and rewards you with points, which can be redeemed for useful rewards.
If helping the environment isn’t enough to encourage you to recycle, consider recycling for cash.
