There's a press conference tomorrow. Here's what the press release says:
Mayor Nutter and the Philadelphia Recycling Office will announce the launch of the City’s Philadelphia Recycling Rewards program. This incentive based recycling program will allow city residents that participate in curbside recycling to earn points that can be used for discounts, full value gifts cards or charitable contributions at dozens of local and national merchants and non-profits.
Philadelphia Recycling Rewards will be the largest incentive based recycling program in the United States and is anticipated to divert thousands of tons of materials away from costly land fills, saving tax payers millions while they earn rewards for themselves. The program is a partnership of the Streets Department’s Recycling Office and RecycleBank.

About It's Our Money
Every year, city government spends slightly more than
$4 billion. Where does all that money come from? More importantly,
where does it go? Are we getting the most bang for our tax buck?
“It's Our Money” is a joint project between
Philadelphia Daily News and WHYY, funded by the William
Penn Foundation, designed to answer these questions.
MONEY AND JUSTICE DON'T MIX
WILL THE NEW COUNCIL GIVE YOU A SAY?
MONEY AND JUSTICE DON'T MIX
Imagine you're appearing in
court, about a matter that's very important to you. You've never seen
the judge before. But the attorney for the opposition has given his
Honor thousands of dollars in campaign donations, which helped the
judge become a judge in the first place.
WILL THE NEW COUNCIL GIVE YOU A SAY?
On this week's It's Our
Money podcast, we talk with Zack Stalberg, president of government
watchdog Committee of Seventy, about public comment in Council.
