The RecycleBank program has been designed to provide the participating customers of Republic Services and their local service with the chance to earn points based on their recycling activity. These points can be redeemed at local and national retailers, restaurants, pharmacies, grocers, movie theatres and more.
Thorough this collaboration, the companies hope to provide an impetus to municipalities across the US to help their residents increase curbside recycling.
Till date, Republic and RecycleBank have partnered to deploy recycling program in more than 20 cities, serving more than 350,000 households.
Gary Sova, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Republic Services, said: “We expect that this will encourage people to recycle more and more people to recycle. With more than 2,000 local and national relevant brands and reward partners participating, there is literally an option for everyone and we are excited about this mutually beneficial partnership.”
Matthew Tucker, president of RecycleBank, said: “We are thrilled by Republic’s million-home commitment – this represents a long-term investment by a highly regarded, world class partner. The executives at both companies are fully vested in leading the charge in bringing incentive-based recycling to communities across the country.”
