IT PAYS TO RECYCLE IN WILMINGTON

The City of Wilmington has teamed with RecycleBank™ for a curb side recycling program. This innovative program allows residents to place all of their recyclables in one container and put it on the curb for pick-up at no additional cost. In exchange for participating in the program, residents can earn up to $25.00 a month in coupons for use at chain stores like Starbucks or ACME as well as stores right in your neighborhood.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

RecycleBankA resident signs up for the RecycleBankTM program and receives a recycle container with wheels. On scheduled recycling days, when the RecycleBank™ truck picks-up the container, it is weighed and a bar code associated with the residence is scanned. Participants are then credited a certain dollar amount for every pound of recyclables they provide.

WHAT CAN BE RECYCLED?

For further questions on what can or can't be recycled, or any questions about the RecycleBank program visit www.recyclebank.com or call 1-888-727-2978.
