Do you take in your bottles and cans into the grocers for the refundable cents or do you give your bottles and cans away?
Well Neicy, since I have been unemployed for over a year, I recycle cans and use the money as supplemental income. Since January, I do a neighborhood clean up every morning. Initially I would give the cans away but then a little voice said-you can get money, that turned the tide
here they only give 25 cents a pound, we used to recycle when i would take the boys out for walks i’d have them pick up cans....since i am no longer able to go out on walks we don’t, and at only 25 cents it isn’t worth it.
we used to give them to our dd and sil when they were unemployed. we did keep up w/ it after that-but then after spending 2 hours in line and all the work for about 10 dollars. dh declared it not worth the effort. I now give whatever I have to my niece and nephew.
We give them to the juniors at my husband’s school. They combine it with car wash money and use it to throw a luau for the seniors every year.
All I can say is Thank God here in Misery (smile) we are up to 49 cents a pound. My contribution from the neighborhood is a “gold mine” at that rate. It’s a heck of a lot of work and after I start back to work- no more recycling. I will just give them away. Truth be told, they came in mighty handy.
I stopped buying sodas last year, and on occasion when I drink a seltzer at work, I leave the can or bottle on the top of the garbage for recycling. When I used to drink soda, I would place them in a bag separate from the recycling so the guys that usually scrounge around bags looking for them wouldn’t have to dig in the garbage to get to them.
Hubby takes our cans and plastics to a recycling center. Usually gets about 35 to 40 bucks for them.
