What Secrets Are They Keeping From You?

Customers are always thinking "I wonder if I can get a discount on this" or "Hmm is there a coupon for that?"
Well, what they don't know is that some businesses are using the RecycleBank.
The RecycleBank is an incentive based recycling company that gives people discounts. In the article Incentive Based Recycling by RecycleBank Celine Ruben states, "The concept, called Incentive Based Recycling, is to increase recycling rates by providing a direct financial incentive for people to go through the trouble of sorting their garbage. Participating customers receive a 35, 64, or 96 gallon RecycleBank container which has a barcode
that identifies their home."
So consumers really can get discounts, if they try to.
Customers can go online to select the coupon of their choice, or they have the option to donate their recycle bucks to charity. "Revenues are generated by helping cities avoid landfill disposal fees. Many paper, plastic, metal and glass recyclables are collected and the company supports a single stream recycling system that allows all types of recyclables to be deposited in one single container." So, it is clear that this gives people the opportunity to save money, while still preserving the environment.
My question for the reader is, is this 'RecycleBank' a good idea?
