Recyclebank

What is Recyclebank.com? It’s a website that wants you to make a positive impact on the environment. For doing that, they’ll pay you in “points” that you’re able to redeem for coupons or promotion codes. You can also use your points to donate to good causes. It’s easy to use. You select an action that you’re doing, or going to do, and you’ll get points for that. Each time they get confirmation of that, you get Recyclebank points. They are loaded into your account where they stay until you redeem them. I like to think of it as a free store for coupons.  The rewards are to use locally, nationally, or even online. Nice! For example – let’s say you wanted to get points for recycling pop cans. You’ll go to the Earn Points tab and click “Yes, I recycled” each time you take your cans. Boom! The points are in your account. See – it’s something you probably already do and you’re able to get rewarded for it. You can report this online or I hear there is even a Blackberry Recyclebank.com app……I’m not familiar with most apps yet, so you will have to figure that out yourself.

There are other ways to get points too. You can watch videos, make pledges, find codes on participating products (like Kashi), recycle at home, or refer friends. It’s really easy to get points and they add up quickly. There are all kinds of rewards under the Get Rewards tab. Some of them are coupons, some of them are codes for percentages off. You might think that some of the rewards are priced high, but keep a watch out…..they run “specials” occasionally where you can get great coupons for only 10 points.

Some of the coupons you get might be printed and some of them might be mailed to your address. It’s just another exciting thing to find in the mail…..along with Stacy’s Freebie Deal of the Day. I’m currently trying to rack up a bunch of points so that I can get a bunch of good coupons when they’re available.
