Recycling to raise money for dog rescue in Augusta

AUGUSTA, Ga. - March 4, 2016 - PRLog -- Until April 30th, each time a new or existing Recycling Perks user adds an additional user to their account, $2 will be raised for two local pet rescues. The amount raised will be shared between the Augusta’s Animal Services shelter and the CSRA Humane Society. If you’re not signed-up yet, creating a new account will also generate a $2 donation.

“Add anyone who recycles at the same address as yours…your partner, children, and roommates! You’ll literally raise money in a click! It’s a good thing for the rescues, for you and for our planet! Plus, it’s nice to share the common earned points with your family” says Bill Dempsey, President of Recycling Perks.

All year long, Recycling Perks rewards registered recyclers for their efforts with more than 100 discounts and freebies from local spots around town. Registering at RecyclingPerks.com is simple and free for residential Solid Waste customers residing in the Augusta, GA, service area. By recycling regularly, Recycling Perks members have the opportunity to save $25 or more per month.

Here’s how it works:

•Augusta Solid Waste residential customers can go to their account options to invite users to their account and help will raise $2 per added user.

•Augusta Solid Waste residential customers who aren’t signed up yet will activate their free account at www.RecyclingPerks.com. It takes less than two minutes.

•Once a customer is enrolled, their cart will be automatically assigned to their household.  If their cart is not automatically associated, they can add their cart to their online account by entering the serial number on their cart.

•Every time their recycling cart gets picked up at the curb on their normal pick up day, the associated Recycling Perks account will automatically receive 25 points.

•Recyclers can log in 24/7 to RecyclingPerks.com and redeem earned points for discounts at local businesses. They can add household members to the account allowing them to share the common earned points.

•RecyclingPerks.com is accessible from any computer, tablet or smartphone and can geo-locate rewards nearest you or your home.

•The final amount of money raised will be published on Facebook at the end of the campaign (April 30th 2016)

“Recycling participation continues to grow in Augusta. Recycling Perks is our way to give back to recyclers, and local businesses”, explains Becky Padgett, Augusta Environmental Services Contract Administrator.
