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.

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.
