From Recycle Banks' wiki:
Recycle Bank is a company headquartered in New York City with offices in Philadelphia and London that rewards people for taking everyday green actions with discounts and deals from thousands of local and national businesses. It does this providing points to its members for an array of environmentally-friendly behaviors including recycling their household garbage, using energy more efficiently at home, reducing water usage, buying greener products and even by walking to work instead of driving [6] (see Transport for London). Recyclebank also uses its digital platform to educate consumers on green behavior through “Learn and Earn” quizzes that give Recycle Bank users points for correctly answering questions about ecology, energy and the like, and through interaction via Facebook, Twitter and mobile applications These points can be used at participating local and national rewards partners (see Partners).
Recyclebank was founded in 2004 by Patrick K. FitzGerald and Ron Gonen and a pilot program that focused on recycling was launched in two Philadelphia neighborhoods. With its rewards for recycling programs, Recyclebank forms partnerships with cities, counties and towns that are designed to drive up recycling rates. Homeowners receive Recycle Bank points based on the recycling weights. Get paid to go green!
