The RecycleBank Program where I live outside the city is alive and well. I always receive my monthly account activity emails whether I have logged in to my account or not (I rarely do, maybe twice or three times a year at this point) and have recently donated 4,500 points to the Philly schools who are participating in RecycleBank's green school's initiative. I typically in the past would have donated those points to animal rescues or to some kind of animal fund, but for the past two years I hadn't seen those kinds of rewards/donations listed. That is why I had such an accumulation of points. I kept waiting and waiting for what I wanted. Wish those donated points to the schools equated to higher money amounts. I think 500 points was only $2.50 or something like that, and at the time, it was stated that a school could only receive up to 500 points per account. I thought I was going to be able to donate all those points to one particular school; instead I had to spread out those 4,500 points. There are only a few rewards that I will choose for myself: $5 off supermarket coupon and $10 off a $30 purchase at Bed, Bath & Beyond (these apparently are limited). I have oftentimes cashed in points for rewards at local businesses and not ever used the rewards because I thought I would go to those places but never did, or I simply forgot about them even though I put them in my pocketbook as soon as they come in the mail.

Yes - I still get my weekly emails.

Recyclebank did something with their website around Feb 2010 and your account may have gotten missed in the transfer. Their CS number is
888-727-2978 but my neighbor had success contacting them via their Twitter about it.

The 500 point maximum for the Green Schools program was an error. Point donations are now unlimited.

Recyclebank Green Schools Program: Henry C. Lea Elementary($171.65 needed)
Recyclebank Green Schools Program: John Story Jenks Elementary School
Recyclebank Green Schools Program: Anna Howard Shaw Middle School
Recyclebank Green Schools Program: C.W. Henry ($275.05 needed)
Recyclebank Green Schools Program: James Rhoads School
Recyclebank Green Schools Program: John Bartram High School
Recyclebank Green Schools Program: South Philadelphia High School
Recyclebank Green Schools Program: WB Saul High School of Agricultural Sciences

Thank you for your point donations, RestlessLegs! It's $1 for every 250 points and at the end of the program (March 15th) Recyclebank will match all funds raised so your donations helped a great deal!
