Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, along with the Philadelphia Recycling office, announced that Philadelphia will be launching the RecycleBank rewards service.
In addition to rewards for recycling, Philadelphia residents will be the first in the nation to be rewarded for overall waste reduction.
“Single stream recycling has proven so effective in increasing the amount of recyclables collected, and we will build upon that momentum as we add RecycleBank,” said Nutter.
Beginning in February 2010, Philadelphia households will receive their individual RecycleBank accounts where they track their recycling activity, check their RecycleBank Points balance and redeem their Points.
