More neighborhoods in the city of Philadelphia will soon be able to reap the rewards of the single-stream recycling program, courtesy of a program that gives residents points for recycling.
The incentive to go green is expanding to new sections of the city, according to Mayor Nutter:
"Neighborhoods in the art museum area, Fairmount, Brewerytown, parts of North Philadelphia, Northern Liberties, Kensington, Fishtown, and Port Richmond."
The "Recycle Bank" awards program began in North Philadelphia (see related story), and each month through July the roll-out schedule will expand to additional neighborhoods.
