Shorewood is a RecycleBank community!
Shorewood has partnered with RecycleBank. What is RecycleBank®? RecycleBank is a company that helps communities make the most of their recycling programs by offering rewards to residents who recycle. The RecycleBank program is offered in conjunction with single-stream recycling collection.
How does RecycleBank work? The new recycling carts have a tag that uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to track if a cart is at the curb on collection day. Residents on each recycling route earn points based on how much material is recycled on the entire route--1 point for every five pounds, shared among the neighborhood recyclers. Points can be redeemed for rewards, such as discounts and offers from local and national businesses.
How do I collect my RecycleBank rewards? First you will have to set up your account. Residents in single-family and duplex homes may activate their RecycleBank Rewards accounts at www.recyclebank.com or by phoning 888-727-2978. If you are a new resident and the previous resident had an active account, you should phone to register the change of address. If you move from Shorewood to another RecycleBank community, your points go with you!
Once set up, you will be able to access your RecycleBank account online or via phone to check your points and shop for rewards. Hundreds of businesses participate in the RecycleBank rewards program. Businesses are continually being added, and a new service allows may coupons to be printed online from home! Typical RecycleBank rewards include discount coupons, 2-for-1 purchase options, cash value certificates, and gift cards. Participants may also choose to donate their points to RecycleBank’s Green Schools initiative, which helps provide educational grants to local schools.
