I like to buy brands that support the causes I believe in. It's like we're all in it together; the companies who make the product and its packaging, the retailers who sell the product, and people like me who choose to buy the product. We're all doing what we can to make a difference.

ABOUT THE GREENOPOLIS RECYCLING SYSTEM
Greenopolis recycling kiosks are part of a product-specific and consumer-driven recycling program that combines the infrastructure of Waste Management, greenopolis.com and On-Street location with rewards and tracking.
The greenopolis recycling system compliments curb side recycling and differentiates itself in three ways; it is product and material specific, it is traceable, and offers recycling on the go.
How Does It Work?
The greenopolis recycling system starts with the greenopolis symbol on product packaging and uses proprietary scanning technology at on-street kiosks to recycle packaging and directly engage people through a registration process.
Each time you use the greenopolis recycling kiosk, you receive a receipt indicating the number of items recycled and a deposit statement with a prize code redeemable for points at greenopolis.com.
The greenopolis recycling system also provides a way for companies to engage their consumer through a direct message, on the exterior of the kiosk or on the kiosk's video screen.
Applications are also in development for scanning at home, school and from your mobile phone.
