You
wrote a $175 check to become an Active Recycler, scheduled
your recycling interview with Jim, and took your 96
gallon cart home with you. At the interview, a few
days later, Jim came over to your home to explain
your system. He reviewed the information you had learned
at the previous meeting, then spent some time helping
you set up simple ways to collect and separate everything
you threw away, item by item. He asked you to set
at least one goal. You decided to establish a retirement
plan that would give you $70,000/yr when you were
ready to retire. Jim scheduled you for a Goal Setting
Session and reminded you that your fee also included
a Family Membership and a Collection Card. You asked
him about the card. Your "Collection Card"
would arrive in a couple of days. If you took your
materials to a Chimorel recycling center, you would
earn a debit balance on your card which paid quarterly
interest. If your children established a recycling
route with 50 neighbors, your debits could be posted
to an account for their college education. It might
mean $1500 or more each year toward their college
education.
