Ascend the Leaderboard Rankings

Beginning with 1 Star Generals and progressing to a Master Recycler, you accumulate dollars as you ascend the ranks. At the end of each quarter, we will reveal your ranking among all donors. Your earnings will depend on how much you've advanced since the last quarter. The more cans you contribute, the higher you will climb. Your title at the start of the quarter determines your payout amount, regardless of how many ranks you move up. If you achieve a new title at the beginning of a new quarter, the payout associated with that title will be your new payout. See examples below.

Ascending the leaderboard ladder

Title	Payout	Number of Donors with this title As of March 31,2026
1 Star General	$1.00	45
2 Star General	$2.00	29
3 Star General	$3.00	20
4 Star General	$4.00	14
Long-Time Member	$6.00	29
Big 10K Member	$10.00	17
Master Recycler	$15.00	7

Example of payout: At the end of December, you were ranked 77th as a Long-Time Member. By the end of March, you remained a Long-Time Member but advanced to 69th place. You moved up 8 positions, resulting in a payout of 8 x $6.00 = $48.
