As long as you have adequate clean storage space for your recyclables it is worth it. The key is “space” because it often takes a lot of cans or papers to give you a decent monetary return. This “space” needs to stay clean so you do not attract bugs, spiders, and other vermin.

How much money does one make if they sell aluminum cans to metal recycling companies?
I’m a teenager and to get some extra cash I want to collect my neighbors pop cans and sell them to a recycling plant. I was wondering how much money I would get. Thanks!
The Expert answers:
Right now it is about $0.75 per pound of cans, but that can vary by state and locality. There are some states that have a deposit requirement and then your reimbursement rate is probably about double that rate or better. It generally takes about 32 cans to make up a pound of aluminum.
