Philadelphia
Residents Earn
Rewards for
Curbside Recycling
Philadelphia Recycling Rewards
is a partnership between the Streets
Department and RecycleBank. The
program will allow residents with
City provided recycling collection
to earn points that can be redeemed
through RecycleBank for discounts,
full-value gift cards or charitable
contributions at hundreds of
participating local and national
merchants and non-profits.
Philadelphia is now the largest City in the United
States to reward residents for their
recycling efforts.
RecycleBank's partnership with cities have proven to increase the
amount of recyclable materials
collected and aid the local economy
when rewards are redeemed at local
merchants.
The program is anticipated to bring the City's recycling
diversion rate-- the amount of
recyclable materials that are
diverted away from landfills-to
record levels.
Every ton of waste diverted from landfills saves the city about $65. The program is pay for performance and shares the savings for
additional tons of recycling
collected above and beyond current
levels.
 According to City of Philadelphia Director of Sustainability
Katherine Gajewski,
Philadelphia Recycling Rewards is the City of Philadelphia's biggest Greenworks initiative to
date in helping the City reach its
goal of becoming the
Greenest City
in America,
"Greenworks Philadelphia
sets out ambitious recycling goals
including a 20 percent diversion
rate by 2011 and 25 percent by 2015.
Philadelphia Recycling Rewards will help the City achieve and hopefully exceed those goals."
Note: The city is currently out
of blue recycle bins and will have more
in the fall.
You can put this sticker on any bin that you
want to use for your weekly recycling.

Updates on Neighborhood Projects
 Street
Cleaning: The Sports
Complex Special Services District has
secured a new, national company for cleaning
streets in the four districts that make up
the SCSSD. They have purchased new
equipment that will soon be in use.
Click here
for a map of the four districts that are
covered by the SCSSD.
> These services are paid for by the SCSSD
as part of their commitment to building and
maintaining good neighborhood relations.
This is only one of the services they
provide for our neighborhood.
> Their
primary purpose is to
clear trash, debris, etc. in the
streets.
> They are
not allowed to go onto private property,
driveways or yards to pickup items.
>
Their schedule is tracked, monitored and
documented each day to assure a regular
cleaning within the 36 sub-districts that
the SCSSD is cleaning.
 Spectrum
Demolition:
The 'farewell events' for the
Spectrum are planned for September.
These will be posted once information has
been confirmed.
> Demolition of the building will be
announced and take place sometime after
September.

complex that will replace the Spectrum.
The design and details of this are still in
the planning stages.
