Get rewarded for going green with RecycleBank

I’ve always been a proponent of being green to save green. It just makes sense to be more environmentally conscious when you know it is helping your planet and helping you save money. Enter RecycleBank.

RecycleBank. partners with cities and haulers to reward households for recycling. You earn points that can be used to shop at over 1,500 local and national businesses and receive coupons for discounts off of the products you use most.

Just for signing up, I received 105 points. These points were enough to get me a free bottle of Seventh Generation all-purpose cleaner, which I will receive as a coupon in the mail that I can redeem at my local grocer (such as Kroger).

Here’s how you can start saving the Earth and get rewarded for doing it:

1. Sign-up for RecycleBank.

2. Join the eBay Green Team and receive 50 points. The eBay Green Team is a no-cost forum that discussed the environment.

3. Enter code RECYCLEYOURMAGS in the promo code box at the bottom of the page for 15 points

4. Get an additional 40 points just for completing your registration.

5. Browse the rewards options under the Get Rewards tab to start getting savings now. There are several free items for Seventh Generation products.

Get more rewards. Sign up for their Visa card and you’ll get 2,500 more points. Send in old electronics through their recycling program, and get points based on the item.

The easiest way to earn points is by completing curbside recycling. Unfortunately the communities in our area are not participating. Since you are likely recycling anyway, this is 450 monthly points you are missing out on. Get your community involved by contacting your local municipality about the RecycleBank program. RecycleBank will let you know when the curbside program comes into your area by registering here.
