The RecycleBank Green Schools Program

Mission Statement

The RecycleBank Green Schools Program is built on our commitment to social responsibility as a way of doing business. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsor Coca-Cola, we are able to align with like-minded RecycleBank members looking to contribute to their communities and the environment.

Our goal is to champion the environmental efforts of today’s students, creating the environmental leaders of tomorrow.

2008-2009 RecycleBank Green Schools Program:

We are once again accepting grant applications from schools in RecycleBank serviced areas for the development of programs that empower youth (ages 6-18) that focus on the areas of environmental awareness, education and action.

How to Participate:

Download the grant application and guidelines below.
Complete and return the application to us via email.
As specified in the guidelines, RecycleBank will notify the programs selected and post them on this page.
Also at that time, RecycleBank will post downloadable /printable collateral that you can use to start grassroots promotion to your community letting them know about the Points Donation program for your school.
Then, do whatever you can to rally your community together and get them to support your school’s environmental program with the donation of their Points.
RecycleBank will convert the Points donated into dollars and grant checks will be mailed by the end of January 2009. (RecycleBank will donate $10 for every 100 Points you donate to support their environmental causes.)
Remember, this program requires schools, students and their communities to work together for the sake of the proposed school programs.

Why we do this:

RecycleBank makes every effort to be a good neighbor and an active contributor in the neighborhoods in which we do business. We believe in working with today’s kids to build strong and vital communities as well as future environmental leaders. Our RecycleBank Green Schools Program, sponsored by Coca-Cola offers a unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children and our environment.

In addition to the great grant opportunity, we believe households will turn their homes inside out trying to find more recyclables, so they can earn more Points to donate and redeem. In our plan, everybody wins, especially the environment.
