Miami, FL to Consider Possible Recyclebank Rewards Program
The City Commission will discuss a having a recyclebank which might be very helpful for the city of Miami to encourage residents and property owners to recycle. A recyclebank is a rewards program that motivates people
to recycle. They do this by quickly and easily measuring
the amount of material each home recycles and then
converting that activity into recyclebank points that can
be used at hundreds of local and national rewards
partners. Recyclebank is simple to implement,
market-driven, and proven to work; saving municipalities'
money and rewarding citizens for their environmental
stewardship. Recyclebank is headquartered in New York
City. Recyclebank was recently honored as a 2009 world
economic forum technology pioneer and has been named
as a 2009 champion of the earth by the united nations.
Recyclebank is featured as a company that "makes
recycling easy, understandable and rewarding" in Josh
Dorfman's new book, 'The Lazy Environmentalist on a
Budget'. Visit www.recyclebank.com for more information.
