Nobody walks past money on the pavement. They walk past plastic because nobody made it worth stopping for.

No. Plastic Bank is a social fintech. People bring the plastic they gather to a local branch and are paid for it, and businesses fund that exchange.
Anyone 18 or older can apply to register in the PlasticBank® app. Once registered, bring your gathered plastic to a collection branch, where it is weighed and paid for on the spot.
Accepted plastics vary by location. Check your branch in the app before you visit.
