This week RecycleBank launched their first pilot recycling program in the state of Arizona in the city of Mesa, a town just outside of Phoenix. RecycleBank is a rewards based recycling program that offers residents incentives to recycle at their curb. These incentives come in the form of rewards points and discounts to a wide range of area merchants.
Alcoa helped Mesa in starting the state's first RecycleBank program by funding the ID chips that are placed on each residential recycling bin. The ID chips will help to record how much each household recycles and thereby how many rewards points are awarded. The more a household generates, the more rewards points they will receive.
RecycleBank has programs in about 19 states and just recently started a program in the United Kingdom.
