The Expert answers:
You can usually cash in recyclables at private recycling facilities. Check out these directories for more information: http://www.mde.state.md.us/programs/Land/recyclingandoperationsprogram/pages/programs/landprograms/recycling/index.aspx

There are also other ways of earning money from recycling like depositing your recyclable items at PepsiCo Dream Machine and Greenopolis Kioks. Recyclebank and Waste Management also give incentives to households that recycle frequently.

Jenny asks…
Can recycling make you cash?
How much are pop cans and pop bottles worth. And where wud u exchange em at????????? : )
The Expert answers:
Metal and glass have a ready market, but it would depend on the daily metal price as to how much you got.Same with paper and other materials.
In reality, only the sort of volume a municipal waste recycling plant handles would generate enough cans and bottles to make something selling them.
However, many people living on the streets scrape a living trading things like old cans and glass for cash. A full supermarket trolliey of cans might get you a few dollars.
Here in the UK, there used to be a soft drinks bottle deposit scheme, where you paid a few pennies on top of the price of the soft drink, which you got back when returning the empty bottle. I made a little pocket money that way when a kid, collecting empties thrown away and trading them in.The manufacturers managed to get it stopped, by lobbying the politicians.
Some metals are more valuable than others, like nickel, aluminium and lead.Usually the scrap yard uses a gadget to test for what type of metal it is, unless it is clearly steel or whatever.
You can make some money, but can be a lot of work for not much of a reward.

George asks…
recycling cans?
for people who recycle how much would u get briefly every month and how much would a normal trashbag size fool of cans and bottles cause i want to recyle so i can buy the samsung glyde phone
The Expert answers:
The answer to your question will depend on where you live. Look up aluminum recycling in your local phone book and make a few calls. But generally, you’ll have to do a lot of can recycling in order to make a significant profit.
If you do not have the means for the phone you want, perhaps selling one or two items on eBay would be a faster and simpler way to earn extra cash.
