can you get money for recycling cans, newspapers, bottles, and carpet in florida and if how much money?
The Expert answers:
No, there is no “deposit” on bottles and such in Florida. I have a friend who moved to Key West a number of years ago and was heartbroken to see all those soda and beer cans and bottles lying around that he couldn’t pick up and exchange for cash, like you can here in New York state. My pal Marshall used to make forty or fifty dollars a week picking up and returning those things up here. He recently moved back to upstate New York, and is happily back into bottle exchanging…

Laura asks…
Can you make money by recycling at Grocery Stores?
I’ve heard that you can go to safeway, or albertsons, and you can recycle your cans and stuff, but you get a certain amount of money for each item you recycle.I was just wondering if anyone had done that before, and knows how much money you can recieve. Thanks!
The Expert answers:
On the side of a recycleable bottles and cans there is an are which has the abbrevation of states and the amount of money someone paid when they bought it.
The state you live in determines how much you get back. Usually 5c-10c.
In California if you turn in less then 50 items they count them and give you 5 cents back for each. If it is more than 50 items they weigh them. You usually get more money if they count them.
When you recycle, unless you are getting cans and bottles from other people, you are simply getting the your money back.

The Expert answers:
It just depends on what the recycling place takes. You should check at the place where you’re taking your cans and find out what they’ll pay for other stuff.
Some places will pay for newspapers, but the amount tends to be so low that it’s not worth the trouble for the average Joe to pack papers to the center.
I would probably take whatever the center will accept and not worry about the dollar amount. The main benefit from recycling is the good karma from thinking green … But that’s green as in the earth, not green as in your wallet.

Michael asks…
Recycling cans for money? Crushed or not? How many?
so do you crush the cans or not? And is there a limit to how many you can redeam? What about bottles?
The Expert answers:
Recycling cans for money, why not? Our finite supply of resource..minerals, gas and oil are getting exploited in an unimaginable way. Then through promotion of consumerism, they produce things that don’t last so you have to keep buying and buying. The results? More and more trash, environmental cost to produce these items, toxic waste is generated in the process and waste disposal is another big issue.Government should subsidize to encourage recycling. The price is dictated by the market at the moment.They should be crushed and as many as you like. Depends which country you are, you should check with the department that provide these facilities.
