[GreenYes] Incentive programs for household recycling

["Reindl, John" <Reindl@no.address>]

Does anyone know of any communities or private haulers that are providing a direct financial incentive to households to recycle? I am thinking, for example, of a reduction in the solid waste cost to the household based on the number of times the recycling container is put out, or the weight of recyclables in the container.
 
I am aware of systems that give an incentive for waste reduction and recycling by charging for the non-recycled materials on a per bag or container (or size of container), but wonder if anyone has done anything more directly on the recycling side of the system.
 
Thanks much,
