RecycleBank Dollars 05 Jun 07
When I read about RecycleBank over on WorldChanging, I was struck by what a great idea it is for encouraging people to recycle. The basic idea is that the amount of waste that you recycle is measured and you are then rewarded with a related number of ‘RecycleBank Dollars’ which can be used at a good number of participating stores and websites
As reasonably good recyclers, I’d love to see a similar scheme locally. Even if the rewards were limited to say a free coffee each week, it would still be an encouragement. I really believe that schemes like this are more likely to tempt people to recycle rather than having some sort of punishment or fine for not recycling, which is something that the government have been considering.
