A company helping people recycle – ecycler
Have you ever wondered what to do with those aluminum cans when your community doesn‘t have curb-side recycling? Or, maybe that stack of newspapers? There is a company that neerg really likes: Ecycler.com . The company creates a new way to recycle by connecting people discarding cans, bottles, newspapers and other recyclable materials with those wishing to collect them.
Ecycler provides an alternative to the many U.S. households and businesses that are not offered curb-side recycling. Or, if you have to pay for curb-side recycling, ecycler is a free option that allows you to have your recyclables picked up when and where you desire.
You do your part for the environment while at the same time helping collectors in need of additional income. Your recyclables are “collected” by these individuals or groups and redeemed for cash at a local recycling center. Ecycler provides an entrepreneurship opportunity for the individual (or group) collecting recyclables and is driven by these collectors who establish an ecycler recycling program in their community. Collectors can download personalized business cards and posters generated by Ecycler.com and then post them in public places.
Ecycler supports this community building for groups; such as, the Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts, Church groups, social clubs, etc.
Ecycler encourages you to giveaway your recyclables for free; however, there is an option to request a portion of the proceeds from the collector. You can track your carbon credits on the site. In addition to the automated calculation of materials recycled though ecycler.com, you have the option of listing how many recyclables you’ve given away on your own to be included in that total.
ALso, Ecycler.com provides an accountability tool by allowing you (the discarders) and collectors to rate and leave comments about your experiences with each other. And, all accounts include a customizable ecycler URL, i.e., a profile page, to show off pictures, comments and various other bits of information.
So, stop throwing away those cans and give them to someone in your community!
