Carol asks…
Textile recycling for cash?
Right, so i have about 20 binbags of clothes, curtains, shoes etc. and I want to get rid of them for money. I’m fundraising for a Girlguiding trip that I’m going on.
Does anyone know a place where I can get that (for as much money as possible) in the UK? Preferably they would collect it from my house, some places DO do this, i have seen a few. However i could drop it off in somewhere in the Midlands, Derbyshire area.
Thanks
The Expert answers:
Really do not know of any textile recycling places. Maybe you can try to Google them in your locality, or try the Yellow Pages.

Whare in Stuart, Florida can I get cash back for recycling soda cans?
The Expert answers:
A lightbulb doesn’t consume any electricity when it’s off.
Electric power comes (mostly) from coal-burning power stations.
One less lightbulb for a power station to keep lit means less coal that it needs to burn.
Less coal burnt = Less Greenhouse Gases released into the atmosphere.

Tomorrow morning just call your local government . After they have had their cup of coffee , someone should be able to tell you where. In my area , it is at the local landfill (fancy name for dump). Good Luck !

The Expert answers:
Where I live, we have curb side recycling. I put all my recycles into a big blue can. It never fails however, just before they truck comes by, there is a homeless man with a couple of kids that comes by on his bike and loads all the cans and bottles into his little cart.
I have no idea how much he gets per can or bottle, but I’m betting he needs what ever it is more than I do. I even wave to him when I see him come by.
I don’t have a lot, but there is always someone that needs more than I do. Maybe my little way of helping someone.
Just my thoughts
Betty asks…
We all try to recycle, right? We cash in our cans, right?
But when we recycle plastic ( you see the little triangle on the bottles , and paper. Take them to them to the recycling center. Who gets the cash?? Yeah, we don’t have to pay for the trash to be picked up, yet why do we have to pay for the high fuel dollar to take them down there. Don’t you think, we should get paid for the plastic and paper as well as we do cans?
I guess, if somebody is getting benefits from what I give them, with the high cost of gas, the government should step in and help anyway they can.
The Expert answers:
I just send them to recycle center.
