GARBAGE & RECYCLING COLLECTION INFO

RECYCLEBANK REWARDS POINTS (2/10)
You may have received a letter from the City of Houston Solids Waste Management Department talking about RecycleBank Rewards points. This program is ONLY available to receiving automated recycling services (those using the big 96 gallon green cart in CCT-3).
If you have a cart, you may register for RecycleBank Rewards points by visiting www.Recyclebank.com and hit the "Sign In and Get Started" button to activate an account or call 888-727-2978 to get started. You can track your points and redeem them for product rewards and discounts.
Gary Readore from the City of Houston (and Sharpstown resident) says the City wants to take this program citywide and will do so as the budget allows. The landfill cost savings resulting from using the compostable bags should help speed up this process. Residents will be notified directly if and when authomated recycling is expanded.
