Green Houstonians Get Big Discounts on Organics for Recycling

Houston, TX, February 02, 2012 --(PR.com)-- City of Houston recycling customers also registered with Recycle Bank can now earn points toward discounted memberships from the Central City Co-op. Partnering to reward green living and encourage Houstonians to participate in local green initiatives, the Central City Co-op and Recycle Bank are making it easy to live sustainably. Registering with Recycle Bank allows households to earn points each time their recycling is picked up, and these points can now be redeemed for 50% off a new annual membership with the Central City Co-op.

“In the future we hope to extend the bonuses available to include earning points for produce purchases, allowing Houstonians to grow their Recycle Bank points balance by purchasing fresh organic produce from our market each Wednesday,” says Carolyn Lambeth, Central City Co-op Operations Manager. The Central City Co-op market offers a variety of fresh organic produce from local farms as well as locally and sustainably produced cheese and meat. The market is held each Wednesday at 2515 Waugh Drive, 9am-6pm.

Since 2001, Central City Co-op has created access to organic and locally raised foods for all Houstonians, regardless of their income level. The Central City Co-op’s mission is to make sustainable fresh farm products accessible to all Houstonians, and to educate the community of the benefits of an organic lifestyle.
