Take Our Poll: Recycling in Easton

In November, Easton approved a contract with a , which rewards residents for recycling.

As we wrote last year:

People put out their recyclable materials in the traditional blue bins, which would be given a bar code, assuming they want to participate in the Recyclebank program. That bar code gets scanned. For every pound of recyclable material you put out, you get points. Those points can be redeemed for "rewards."

It's not that you'd get money back, exactly. But the points would give you discounts on different consumer products.

According to the Express-Times, the number of recycling bins in Easton has increased by 1,500 since the program was rolled out last year. Dave Hopkins, Easton's public works director, said the city wants to try to get its annual trash tonnage down by 2014, when a new garbage contract is due to be signed.

So are you using the Recyclebank program? If not, tell us why.
