Next time someone gives you a hard time for messing around on your smartphone, let them know you aren’t just wasting time with Angry Birds or Words with Friends — you’re recycling! Preserve and Recyclebank have gotten together to create an iPhone app that locates the nearest #5 plastics recycling location. Dropping off your plastic containers gets you more than a warm and fuzzy feeling — Recyclebank gives you points that can be redeemed for discounts at other businesses.

      Not sure… looks like it might just be for US recycling locations. Bummer!
