Fans can win up to £18,000 for their club to spend on youth development if they pledge to recycle more at www.talent-from-trash.com. While one lucky fan of a Football League club will also win an extra £10,000 for their club and £5,000 for themselves by pledging their commitment online.
In an ironic move, despite being trash on the pitch so far this season, Walsall have not taken part in this latest environmentally friendly scheme.
For the clubs entering the programme, click to win is easy. Fans can pledge once a day online. The number of pledges received each week will be counted and clubs will be rewarded with a corresponding level of prize money. Clubs will also win extra cash based on the recorded uplift of household waste recycling levels in their areas during the 12 weeks (versus the same period in 2006). All household waste materials are counted - glass, plastic, paper, aluminium, steel and cardboard. Basically it's the win a player competion run by Coca Cola but instead of texting in a code you drop your beer bottles in a recycling bin.
When fans pledge to recycle they are entered into a free prize draw to win an extra £10,000 for their club and £5,000 for themselves. Plus, the fan who makes the most pledges at each club will win a 'money can't buy' prize from their club, for example, signed shirts.
As a minimum, participating clubs are guaranteed £3,400 to spend on youth development rising to £18,000 if the top targets are met. It's simple - pledge to recycle, recycle more, win cash for your club's youth development!
There are 13 clubs taking part in 'Coca-Cola' Talent from Trash: Accrington Stanley, Brentford, Burnley, Cardiff City, Coventry City, Huddersfield Town, Norwich City, Nottingham Forest, QPR, Southampton, Swansea City, Swindon Town and Wycombe Wanderers.
