Gift voucher rewards for recycling

An innovative US recycling project is soon to hit the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in the UK. This project involves offering incentives in the form of gift vouchers and money off coupons based on how much and regularly each household recycles.
It would work by putting an identification chip in each bin or box that when partnered with the recycle truck that takes the recycled goods away would record how much was recycled on that occasion.
It has a lot of similarities to a recent attempt from some councils to tax residents based on the amount of rubbish they threw away into there wheelie bins however this recent incentive scheme is likely to go down a whole lot better than the tax ever did.

The results from the US users on this scheme have been staggering and it is likely to work just as well over here with the public seemingly willing to break a normal routine when a tangible benefit such as money or coupons is dangled in front of their face. Some examples include surveys, clubcards and questionnaires.

I'm Rubbish Undergoes a Facelift

I'm Rubbish has very recently undergone a minor cosmetic face lift to its appearance. We received feedback from some of our customers that the site looked a little to business to business. Whilst we would not want to put off potential businesses, we did recognise that although its only waste bins a modern website should try to look as pleasing on the eye as possible.
One of the other recent additions was the mini pictures of each individual bins category. This is viewable from the Internal Waste Bins section of the website.

The feedback from customers has been very positive so far, one went as far as saying "It doesn't look like a waste bin website." Which is pretty much the kind of response we were hoping for suprisingly. Whilst we recognise we do sell bins, we did not want to get dragged into a typical plain, boring bin website.
