No sorting
No tiny little blue box
No driving to a center with a trunk full of rattling bottles and cans.
There are a few downsides, they don't take glass (that's okay Jeff will just have to continue to lug his empty beer bottles to the center outside of Alaina's daycare.)
They don't take plastics 4,6, and 7. (Although the guy assured me that if you put a few in, they won't dump them back on our porch at a later date.)
But the best part is you receive incentive points for each pound you recycle to put toward gift cards for local stores. And when I say stores I mean cool places like Hy-Vee, B@th and Body Works, and Bed B@th and Beyond!
I'm not sure how the points convert to $$$ but who cares? Even a little incentive goes a long way!!! If you live in Lincoln you just have to check it out!

p.s. I don't get any kickbacks for this . . . except for a cleaner tomorrow for Alaina!

Go you!
We started recycling this year too, though we use city services. They are pretty good here.
I thought you looked greener the last time I saw you. It looks good on you!
This is GREAT info!!! I am definitely going to go check it out!
with OM, I also have city services. They are totally into the green thing here in FL. Oh, and did I mention the whole reclaimed water bit? Yeah, slightly treated sewage water is sprinkled onto my lawn twice a week. I try not to think about it when I go barefoot in the grass....
