Turning Trash Into Cash With Bin it to Win it

Turn Your Trash Into Cash This Earth Day

Ever stand over the trash can and think… “Wait, should this actually be recycled?” You’re not alone — and now, that split-second decision could actually win you some cash.

To celebrate Earth Day, Big Friog 104 is teaming up with the Oneida Herkimer Solid Waste Authority for a fun (and surprisingly helpful) contest called “Bin It To Win It.” And yes… your garbage knowledge could score you $250.

Here’s How It Works

Starting Monday, April 6, we’ll post a new video every day on the Big Frog 104 Facebook page featuring a different everyday item and find out if it belongs in the recycle bin or in the trash.

All you have to do is enter the item below for a chance to win. And here’s the best part — the more items you enter, the more chances you have to win.

What You Can Win

One lucky winner will take home $250 — plus your choice of something eco-friendly: a rain barrel or a compost kit.

So not only could you win some cash, but you can also keep the Earth Day vibes going right in your own backyard.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just about winning money — it’s about learning what actually belongs in your recycling bin. Because tossing the wrong item in there? It can cause more harm than good.

So consider this your chance to test your knowledge, learn something new, and maybe even fix a few bad recycling habits along the way.

Don’t Miss Out

The winner will be announced on April 20, so start watching, guessing, and entering now.

Because this Earth Day… your trash might actually be worth something.
