What do you get when you start with a low municipal recycling rate, mix in a business-savvy attitude, and sprinkle generously with environmental passion? A cutting-edge program like RecycleBank — and possibly some money in the bank for individuals, too!
The Philadelphia-based company rewards households for the weight of materials they recycle. Households can earn up to $400 RecycleBank Dollars per year that can be used at more than 100 participating local and national businesses, including Starbucks, Home Depot, and Bed Bath & Beyond. See how it works by clicking on the EPA link below.

I strongly think that Coles County (or Charleston alone) should investigate RecycleBank as an option.
It's worked well other places as is described in the latest issue of EMagazine.
