Hi Recyclers, It\u2019s been a minute since you heard from us, and today we\u2019re back with something refreshing; a real-life story from one of our amazing users. We caught up with Ada, a Wastebanc user who shared how joining the platform completely changed how she views recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
W: Hi Ada! What was your view on recycling before now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ada: To be honest, I didn\u2019t give it much thought. Recycling felt like one of those that \u201cgood citizens\u201d do that just took too much time. Between work and life, it just wasn\u2019t on my radar. I used to dump everything into one bin and move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
W: So, when did you discover Wastebanc?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ada: I actually stumbled on Wastebanc through Instagram early last year. At first, I thought it was too good to be true, but I decided to give it a shot. I downloaded the app, and it\u2019s been seamless since! I just schedule a pickup, someone comes to my house, collects my recyclables, and I get paid. I mean, who doesn\u2019t love quick cash? I\u2019ve been hooked ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
W: Was there a particular moment that really changed how you see recycling?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ada: Absolutely! The first time I checked my wallet on the app and realized I had made enough to buy lunch just from plastic bottles alone. That was the moment I thought: \u201cWow, I\u2019ve literally been throwing money away!\u201d Since then, I\u2019ve become more conscious about how much I can recycle every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
W: Has recycling become more of a routine for you now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ada: Oh yes. I have my recycling bags sorted out, I schedule my Wastebanc pickup days, and I even encourage my neighbors to join. It\u2019s oddly satisfying now. Plus, I feel good knowing I\u2019m doing something positive for the environment as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
W: Any advice for people who are still on the fence about recycling with Wastebanc?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ada: All i can say is; just start. You have nothing to lose; you also get paid for doing the right thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
W: Love it! Thanks for sharing your story, Ada!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
