How do I earn RecycleBank Points?
There is no possible way to earn points. They’ve set up a perfect system — when you sign up for RecycleBank, they don’t ask you for your container ID. So, you never actually earn points and they never have to give you anything. They keep telling you that it just takes a while for the points to post, but they never actually do. Steer clear!
Your RecycleBank container will be weighed each week upon pick-up. The weight will then be translated to RecycleBank Points. The more you recycle the more your household can earn. In a few select communities, households earn rewards based on their equal share of the total amount that their entire community recycles. The average Lincoln household earns about 220 RecycleBank Points each month.
