If you are a Fort Worth resident like myself, then you have two city issued bins- one for trash and a black bin for recycling. You pay the city every month to empty these for you on a regular basis. However, one of those bins can play you back for using it- your recycle bin. The City of Fort Worth has partnered up with Recyclebank, an online community that has members register, earn point and collect rewards. Members, like the residents of Fort Worth, earn points when they recycle. You can use points towards gift-cards or donating to a cause or school.
The web site also offers users the ability for members to earn extra points through different learning modules and inviting friend to join. Recyclebank is committed to education. It has a program called Green Schools. According to its web site, Recyclebank rewards grants to schools that can use the fund for environmental projects. Members can donate their points towards a school and make the world a greener place.
I joined Recyclebank when the City of Fort Worth offered it to its residents. So far, I have been able to cash in my points for a gift-card to go out to eat. This program is easy- I just have to recycle and then watch the points add up.
