Talk Business has an item about rewarding recycling with tickets to the zoo and Starbucks coupons.  The head of the Pulaski County Recycling and Waste Reduction District says the program would resemble frequent flyer programs at airlines.  Every time you recycle, your bin would be weighed and then scanned with a bar code.  Once you get a certain number of points, you get a coupon. 

Tickets to the zoo and coffee?  What about a sixer of Diamond Bear beer?
