Default Anyone have RecycleBank where you live?

We are getting the RecycleBank program later this month in my town. Do any of you have this?

It is a single-stream recycling program with a rebate incentive to get people to recycle. We already recycle everything and don't need an incentive, but certainly won't pass it up. Basically, you dump all of your recyclables in a container that has a bar code for your house. Each week when it gets picked up, it gets weighed and you get credit based on how many pounds of stuff you recycle. You can then redeem credits for gift certificates and discounts at a variety of area merchants. I'm not sure what the maximum rebate is each month (I've seen conflicting information) but it is somewhere around $500/year total.

Just curious if anyone else has any experience with this.
