plz help.
The Expert answers:
Look in the phone book under scrap metal or recycling. You don’t have to remove the tab on top. Here in NE Ohio I get $.60 a pound. If you have several choices of places to go to call and ask how much they are paying some will pay more than others.

Thomas asks…
what things can i recycle?
im wondering what i can recycle. what about paper products like slightly used napkins/paper towels? why cant i recycle some cardboard from pasta boxes, or can i? why aren’t some plastics recyclable? thanks!
The Expert answers:
Aluminum cans, plastic water/soda bottles, and glass beer/soda bottles can be recycled and you can turn them in to a recycycling place for cash.
Here is a website that tells you what is and what is not acceptable to recycle. It says not to recycle napkins and paper towels. Carboard pasta boxes are fine.

Richard asks…
recycling.?
what are two saving that result from recycling aluminun cans.
and what is an ecological benefit of each?
The Expert answers:
One good perk to recycling cans is that if you take them to a junk yard they’ll give you cash for them, and those materials can be cleaned and re-used again.
Then, less of our resources are spent on producing new aluminum cans because we’re re-using them.
It also will keep those used materials out of our garbage dumps and cut back on pollution.
Bsesides, doesn’t it make you feel better?
Maria asks…
can you recycle bottles and cans for cash redemption in another state?
my school had an idea. if 1,300 kids attend a high school and drink about 1 can or bottle of something a day, there would be thousands of cans and bottles by the end of the week. however, there is no recycling place in RI for cash redemption. if we could do it at a place where we had that, then we could help the classes raise money. we want to know: Is it illegal to take the cans to Massachusetts for cash redemption because there isn’t one in RI?
The Expert answers:
As long as the can or bottle has the Ma on the side by the bar code.
Not all states charge deposits
Daniel asks…
where can i recycle aluminum cans for the most cash near whiting indiana?
The Expert answers:
I think it’s not very much in Illinois. Metal prices are way down in the stock market. I am pretty sure it is at least semi-illegal but you can take them to Michigan and get 10 cent deposit per can from retailers of that beverage. That is probably the only way to make any money on cans unless you have hundreds of pounds.

Helen asks…
Where can I recycle Cans for Cash in Las Vegas NV. (Summerlin area)?
I leave cans on curb side for recycle, but half the time the guys don’t even pick ’em up. Figure if I’m going to drive somewhere to recycle them, I should get some gas money while I’m at it. Any ideas?
The Expert answers:
Hi there,
I agree if you are going to recycle, why not get paid for it?
I ran a search for you on earth911.org for “cans” in Summerline, Nevada and came up with the results below. Browse your options, I’m sure one of them will pay. If not, why don’t you just hang on to them if you can? Recycling is becoming more and more mainstream each day. If no one in your area will pay for them today, there are sure to be vendors willing to pay in the future, and for a premium I might add. Scrap metal prices are going through the roof!
Best regards,
JL
