Recycling for cash?
Does anybody know of a plastic recycling drop off location that pays cash for plastic bottles and containers such as milk jugs? I recycle cans for cash but looking for somewhere to recycle my plastic. Looking for something close to 85382 zip in Arizona.
Please, please dont answer this question unless you have a website or location.
Thanks
The Expert answers:
I also cash in my cans. Plastic is much more difficult to find a buyer for. I usually put newspapers, cardboard, & plastics in the military base recycling center because the money goes to MWR fund. A way to donate without spending a dime.
Check out the website I found. There are nine businesses but you could call and check with them.
Good luck and thanks for thinking green.

Mary asks…
can i get cash for recycling plastic in Indiana?
I have heard that you can get paid cash for recycling your household plastic items and also you can get cash for a gallon full of the flip tops on the pop cans. Is this true?? if so how do i go about finding out the place that provides this service.
Thanks
The Expert answers:
I know you can get money for also recylcing soda cans themselves (i live in Indiana and recycle cans).You can just recyle the flip tops of cans but that to me just takes to many cans. You don’t get money for recycling plastic (at least where i live we don’t) we just put plastic and paper in the blue recycle bin provided by the city and leave it close to the street every other week where they come and pick the stuff up.
When i take recycle my soda cans, i crush them flat with my shoes and when i have 3 completely filled black garbage bags, i get about $30
to find a website just google “recycling center in (your town)”

Donna asks…
Recycling for cash? I’m so confused.?
I live in Fort Wayne, IN and I’m not sure if our city/state has a program where you can turn in things like glass bottles, magazines and aluminum cans for money? I used to get a pretty good chunk of cash for my recyclables in Ohio, and I miss the extra money and I hate to feel like i’m not doing my part…
The Expert answers:
Don’t forget that you’re still “doing your part” if you’re not making money off it. Aluminum pays off far better than other recycle-ables in terms of the costs of mining more vs. Recycling, so it’s surprising that you’re able to get paid for those other items anywhere!
