Recycling Rewards Program

Republic Services Inc. is offering our neighborhood a recycling rewards program.  Please review their presentation and give us your feedback.

Republic Services and Recycle Bank have given us a proposal for a new rewards type recycling program, whereby residents can collect points for recycling and redeem them for discounts or free merchandise at local stores. Republic would provide larger recycle containers, each with a radio tag, which would be scanned and recorded at each pickup. The recycle cargo is weighed to determine the total value. Points would then be equally divided among those who participated that day.

Participation in the proposed new recycling program requires a vote of the residents, because every household would be enrolled and charged an extra $1.00 per month for the service. Cost of the new tagged container, etc. is included in the monthly recycling charge. Participation is an all or nothing proposition, as there is no opt out. A copy of the presentation can be found on our website. Check it out and let us know if you are interested. Repeat:  No commitment has been made regarding our participation. This is only a proposal.
