Laura asks…
where can i get money for recycling?
bottles,cans,
The Expert answers:
If you are in one of the states that will give you money to recycle, then you can go to some walmarts, I don’t know if dumps would do it, but recycling centers around your area. If you are not in a state that is lables on the bottle then you cant get any money for it unless you drive to the state. You can also go to http://earth911.com/ to find local recycling places. Hope this helped! Also, if you think my answer kicked butt then you should totally vote me best answer! Thanks so much! Good luck collecting money!
Sandra asks…
I love to recycle soda can lid in DFW….is there any place I can get money from?
The Expert answers:
It would much easier to find places that recycle the whole empty soda cans. You can do that at most supermarkets, providing DFW has a recycling program. In order to get money for the lids you would need at least a pounds worth and would have to find a junk or scrap yard that would take them. You can also check the internet for DFW’s recycling program and see where they take scrap aluminum or metal.
Richard asks…
can i recycle can’s for money?
The Expert answers:
Aluminum cans recycle for about 40 cents per pound and it takes a lot of cans to make a pound. If you crush the cans, it makes for easier transportation and storage prior to selling.

Lizzie asks…
How do I recycle cans and bottles for money?
I want to start recycling cans and water bottles for money, but i dont know how much i can get for each can and each bottle. and where i can take the recyclables. answers anyone?
The Expert answers:
Prices vary for aluminum cans and bottles, depending on the market. Most recycling centers post a daily price. But, even if you DON’T earn any money, recycling is still worth the effort! I recycle everything; nothing except easily biodegradable food scraps get hauled away to a landfill (and that’s only because my apartment complex won’t allow composting). I REduce, REuse, and REcycle steel, plastics, aluminum, newsprint, glass, magazines, mixed paper, telephone directories, used cooking oil, cardboard, asphalt, computer parts, ink and toner cartridges, TV sets, tin, and styrofoam. I also ‘recycle’ old clothing, furniture, etc. By donating it to the Goodwill. Thank you for helping to save our planet by REducing, REusing, and REcycling! Your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will really appreciate what you did so they can breathe fresh, clean air and still find enough clean drinking water. -RKO- 07/04/07
Nancy asks…
Is there anything besides metal and aluminum that can be recycled for money?
I have a ton of junk in my house and I’d like to get rid of some of it. I can sell the useful stuff on craigslist, but a lot of other stuff is just garbage. It’d be nice if I could get some money out of it. Is there anything besides metal and aluminum that can be recycled for money? I’m in the Los Angeles area.
I actually like the electronics and clothes ideas. I’ve got plenty of those. Is there anything specific I can google, so I can check if the place would pay me any cash?
The Expert answers:
Plastic bottles can certainly be recycled-usually for money.
Paper can be recycled-though probably not for money.
Look for an E-Waste(electric waste) recycling program. They take back computers, printers, toner, cell phones, screens, tvs, light bulbs…etc. Don’t know if they offer money. That would depend on the area.
Even if you can’t make a few dollars, it is wise to recycle. Recycling is much better for the environment than just throwing out stuff!

Robert asks…
How much money could I get for recycling soda cans.?
Iam collecting cans and I would like to know how much can I make.
The Expert answers:
Some place on the can it should say, but in the event it does not, most states pay 5¢ and a few pay 10¢ per can. I believe they have guidelines on the condition of the cans in how they are turned in; I don’t think you can crush them to fit more in a container. Another thing you could try is calling a recycling facility, they pay by the pound and I’m sure it won’t amount to as much as 5¢ per can. However, volume = weight = $$$ = 🙂
Hope this helps.

George asks…
Where can I recycle Pepsi cans for money in Melbourne ?
You know on the cans they say you can recycle them for 10 cents at SA.
What does SA mean ? And where can i give them.
That is if Australia has a recycling firm for pepsi.
The Expert answers:
SA means South Australia. The South Australian State Government puts a surcharge of 10c for things like cans, to make sure they’re recycled. It’s a great idea!
I’m in Victoria too by the way, near the South Australian border
In Victoria the laws are different – The only value of them is their raw material, the aluminium itself, which is worth maybe half a cent each. The way the government encourages us to recycle them is to give each house a big recycling bin, and a small general rubbish bin, so we NEED to sort it or we’ll run out of bin space! That’s fine, but it does NOTHING to encourage people to recycle if they’re away from home… Then it comes down to individual people wanting to do the right thing.
There is some groups trying to get Victoria to have the same 10c surcharge laws as SA – Let’s hope they’re successful!
