RecycleBank, the recycling program that pays you back, heading to Europe

If altruism isn't a good enough reason to increase recycling rates, a little extra money ought to be.

For those who are new to RecycleBank, here's a update: customers receive a 35, 64, or 96 gallon RecycleBank container which has a barcode that identifies their home.
As the truck collects the recycling it scans the barcode on the container and translates the value of the recycled items into a dollar amount -- up to $35 RecycleBank Dollars a month -- that can be redeemed though shopping coupons at participating businesses. The more you recycle, the more reward you get (up to a point, at least) and the less stuff goes to landfill. The program is available to both residential and commercial customers.

RecycleBank is taking their game across the Atlantic Ocean, to Europe. Fresh off raising $30 million, the company will expand services here in the States and will expand into Europe.
