RecycleBank

Get Rewarded For Recycling
Dear City of Hollywood Residents,

It is my pleasure to inform you the City of Hollywood has partnered with RecycleBank to offer our residents a totally innovative, new way to recycle—by creating a rewards program that motivates households to protect the environment. Like a “frequent flyer” program, the more you recycle, the more RecycleBank Points you earn and the more rewards you receive for your recycling efforts. Points can be redeemed with local businesses such as Publix, Winn Dixie, Sage Oyster Bar, Ocean Alley and Yoga One Yoga Studio, as well as national partners like CVS, Kraft, Home Depot, Target and Coca-Cola.

The City is currently delivering new blue recycling carts to our residential sanitation customers. Customers can begin to use these new carts for all their recyclable materials beginning February 1, 2010. RecycleBank is a single-stream recycling program. Single-stream recycling means there is no need to separate paper from aluminum cans, glass and plastic. All recyclable materials will be able to go into your new cart for recycling.

Once the carts are delivered, the City will begin a new recycling pickup schedule. Instead of once weekly pickups, your recycling will be collected once every other week on your trash pickup day. This new program and schedule starts February 1, 2010. Please do not use your new carts until then. These new carts have a personalized identification tag. The trucks will read your identification tag, record how much your household has recycled and transmit that information to RecycleBank. RecycleBank will then credit your account with RecycleBank Points. RecycleBank Points can be redeemed online once you set up your personal account at www.RecycleBank.com If you do not have a computer, you can also sign up by calling RecycleBank toll-free at 888.727.2978. Remember, you must activate your RecycleBank account in order to start earning points. Just for activating, you will receive 40 RecycleBank Points to get started!

Having spearheaded this effort, I am proud the City of Hollywood will be the first city in Broward County to participate in RecycleBank’s innovative program and the second in the State of Florida. This is a very exciting initiative for Hollywood and it’s a win-win-win for our residents, local businesses and the environment.

Sincerely,

Peter Bober, Mayor
City of Hollywood
