I sent in an Ipod shuffle months ago for recycling. Never heard a word about it despite two emails to RecyleBank. Be careful.

I use RecycleBank and I donate the points to my son’s school, Hubert Olson Elementary. Olson’s PTA Live & Learn Green team filled out an application to be one of RecycleBank’s Green School grant recipients and now anyone can donate points to the school and they turn into cash! Way better than a coupon that I don’t need!

Christine, from what I understand, it’s only Allied Waste that is doing this program in MN. I could be wrong…
I’m hoping that Brooklyn Park is changing from Waste Management to Allied Waste for its recycling provider, so that our family can be in this program. We can choose our garbage hauler, but not the recycling provider.

Does this only work with Allied Waste? I have Tennis in Woodbury, since its less expensive.

I just signed up but don’t know what to do next. Does someone bring out the recycle bin or what do we do? I can’t find the info. on the web site.

Terri, if you look at the A-Z listings under “H”, you should be able to find them.

What section are the huggies under? I cannot find them but think I might like to redeem some points on them.

I guess I should have mentioned that Allied Waste is our garbage service, but Brooklyn Park uses Waste Management for recycling. Thought I had read that would change soon, but can’t remember what service I read they were changing over to. I’d love to get the coupons and such for recycling. We are excellent recyclers! We have the biggest container and it is always filled to the top come recycling week.

LOVE recyclebank!! Have been using it for 6-9 months and it is so easy. The best deals seem to be $1 for every 10 points. So redeem 60 points for a “$6 off of $70″ coupon off at Cub Foods. Great deals! All for doing what we are already doing!

Does anyone on here know if Brooklyn Park is part of Recycle Bank? We do use Allied Waste, but I thought I had read in the Sun Post last year that Maple Grove was doing Recycle Bank, but not B. Park. Thanks.

We have recyclebank but I hve not used any points yet. I checked the other day and saw we have enough to receive a giftcard-just need to spend the time to redeem (or continue to let them add up). We recycle way more than we throw away so I love the program! Now they should give us points for the less garbage we have.

Michelle, I think in some communities/cities that’s true, but not in all of them.

We have Recycebank and just so you know it does not ggo by you individually, it goes by your neighborhood. We recyle tons but live in an elderly community and they waste less and recycle less. So you do not get the total points that you should.
