Prior to joining Trashie Unlimited in October 2025 I was bombarded with emails telling me about their new pay-one-price get all the bags you want deal. I was told I'd get "premium" gift cards. I even filled out a survey asking which gift cards I wanted. So, I took a chance because I was about to clean out my mom's house. I already knew that the 1:1 gift card ratio had changed but because it was the "unlimited" service I thought it would be a better ratio. Ha! It is still the terrible "spend $10 and get $1." Once I got over that disappointment, I figured I could still make back the money spent. With taxes, I paid $73.44 for the unlimited service. Each returned bag would get me 30 Trashie dollars which is the equivalent to three real dollars towards gift cards. So, in order to break even I would have to send in 25 bags. This is not great but it was doable.Now, as of today, Trashie has changed their Trashie cash system. Instead of getting Trashie cash you get points. A $5 gift card is worth 15,000 points. A returned Unlimited bag will get you 7,500 points that means the bags are now only worth $2.50 in real money! And the "rewards" that are not gift cards are complete crap! $20 off $100 at some store I would never shop at is not a "reward." I signed up solely for the real gift cards to real stores where I would normally spend money. Now I have to send in 30!! yes, 30 bags, in order to break even. I would never have shelled out over $73 to recycle if I had known what an incredible scam it is. No recycling program on the planet is worth this.
