I recycle the cans and cash them at the stores. I also recycle papers but I didn't make money from it.

I just started collecting bottles and cans for recycling. That extra $20 or $30 is nice to have when I need to fill my gas tank.

I do not live in a state that offers the "deposits." And the few times I have been in states that do, I quickly realized you can't just take them anywhere and get the money. it's quite a bit of work.

I haven't tried making money off recyclables since I was a kid and we used to fill big trash bags full of Coke cans to get money for at the recycling place.

I would love to but don't have that time right now. Need to get information in this area. I suggest in tiny apartment crush your cans as flat as you can get them.As for taking others recyclable trash, just ask, sometimes they'd be happy for you to get that stuff off their hands.Finding tossed bottles & cans on the ground in a public place is fair game. I know this could be successful, the house keeper in our facility where I use to work would collect employee's recyclable trash. when her shift end she'd be dragging Jumbo,huge plastic bag with her trash. Think about it 365 days, 7days a week, several 100+ employees + the trash they throw out. I heard she'd comfortly retired. The staff that thought she was so weird, or crazy are still working there. Lol! Her grand kids are now taking up the tradition. :thumbsup: :wave:
