Omaha Sanitation Service To Offer Recycling Rewards
by Ashley Schiller on May 14th, 2008
For residents in Omaha, NE, recycling not only preserves the environment, but now fattens the participant’s billfold as well.
Due to a new partnership between Elkhorn Sanitation Service and RecycleBank, households will earn points based on the weight of recyclables in their 96-gallon cart. Each cart is equipped with a special chip that tracks the weight, according to the ESS Web site.
Points are redeemed for rewards with participating businesses, including Hy-Vee, Bed Bath and Beyond, Blimpie and Coca-Cola.
This is just the latest development by RecycleBank, which is looking to expand its services nationwide.
