Abstract: A system and methods for managing a recycling program including the step of receiving waste materials from a user and the step of receiving recyclable materials from the user. Further, the step of measuring a quantity of waste materials received and the step of measuring a quantity of recyclable materials received. Further still, calculating a user- specific diversion rate based upon the ratio of recyclable materials as compared to the sum of recyclable materials and waste materials. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: A system and methods for encouraging a user to continue recycling behavior through various rewards systems and economic benefits, each of which contribute to the overall efficiency and sustainability of a recycling program. The system includes both hardware and software components that are adapted to receive, quantify and assess the quality of recyclable goods. Further, a method includes cooperating with the system to provide users with economic incentives to increase both the quantity and the quality for recycling. Further still, a method includes steps of receiving recyclables from a recyclables container associated with a user, electronically capturing data relating to individual recycled items, and providing a benefit to the user associated with the recyclables container in response to both the quantity and the quality of the recyclables received.
