RecycleBank

Being green has never been such a great deal. We've joined up with RecycleBank, a recycling loyalty program, to reward consumers for recycling and reusing what already exists in the world today. RecycleBank was started by two high-school friends who believed that making greener choices shouldn’t feel at all like a trade off. It should be a trade up, and so RecycleBank rewards people every step of the way. The new collaboration with us takes the RecycleBank program beyond curbside recycling and brings consumers online, offering 50 RecycleBank Points for joining eBay’s Green Team community.

RecycleBank rewards people by giving them points based on how much they recycle. They can then redeem their points at a variety of stores and outlets. People can also donate their points to The RecycleBank Green Schools Program, which offers grants for environmental education in local neighborhoods.

Today, RecycleBank serves over one million people across 20 states in the United States, and that number continues to grow every week. They are already operating in the UK, and have received prestigious awards from the U.N, amongst others. To date, RecycleBank members have collectively saved over 4.4 million trees and over 295 million gallons of gas through weekly recycling efforts.
