RecycleBank Expands Service to Nebraska

RecycleBank has rolled out its innovative recyclables collection service to households in the Omaha, Neb.

ESS has teamed up with Firstar Fiber, the single-stream recycling facility in Omaha. Together, the two companies are enabling ESS households in West Omaha, Papillion, LaVista, Gretna, Elkhorn and Bennington, Neb., to participate in the RecycleBank program.

ESS is providing participating RecycleBank households with a 96 gallon recycling cart, outfitted with an RFID tag that allows RecycleBank to track the total weight and participation of households’ recycling. Within the first month of participation, households have more than doubled the amount of  recyclables from 22 pounds per household to 47 pounds per household.

"Firstar Fiber is excited to be working with RecycleBank, a company that truly understands the value of single-stream recycling," said Dale Gubbels, CEO of Firstar Fiber. "We are confident that RecycleBank will optimally utilize our resources to help households improve their recycling efforts."

For RecycleBank, this expansion to the Midwest marks the beginning of the company’s rapid growth outside of its roots in the East Coast.

Currently, RecycleBank is in more than 75 municipalities throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, Nebraska, Virginia, New York and New Jersey.
