Collecting cans, bottles, and glass bottles.

I've been collecting cans, bottles, and glass bottles for the last 4 days and I have about $14 worth. I'm gonna post a picture of my reCYCLING bike on my blog (www.blog.ethantheemazing.com) tomorrow. Just thought some of you might find it interesting. My goal is to earn $250 from recycling in a year. I'll be posting my progress on my blog as well.

$250.00 A Month can be achieved! Can dogging is fun, IT'S FREE MONEY! I think all should try it at least one weekend following the state fair./////// =)

 

I believe he only said $250 a year. $250 a month would be something though. 500 cans a month, 6,000 a year. 6,000 cans a year would be about 939.84962406015037593984962406015 pounds of carbon reduced... About...

did that when I lived in .05 deposit state....

Good luck

 

Our state pays 10 cents per can. So in reality it is worth it, the kids like the walk and rewards!

 

Yea my goal is $250 this year. 3 years ago me and my dad made over $1500 in the summer. Your lucky for gettin 10 cents. We only get 5, but thats still pretty good when I pick up about enough cans to make 4 to 5 dollars a day.

 

Aluminum is worth recycling, but recycled plastic and glass have turned out to be more expensive than virgin materials. Check the facts at Recycling Criticism.

 

My kids love to go pop bottle hunting. I live in a .10 deposit state so they usually find about $5 sometimes $10 a day when they go out. This is a great way for them to earn a little money of their own while doing something good for the community.

 

Thanks for the info. But they still pay me $0.05 for them so its still very worth it to me to recycle them.

 

Hehehe... your tax dollars at play.

 

We save our Aluminum cans and crush them and every 2 -3 years haul them off and get 45 Cents a pound. A 40 pound bag brings around 18 bucks.

 

That's awsome man!!! I'm all about recycling and helping Gaia out.

Keep up the good work, if not for the money, for the planet and humanity!

 

Recycling will be the way to go in future given the rapidity with which we use disposable things in our day-today life.

 

Protecting the enviorement is everyone jobs

 

Collecting can and bottles pays very little in my country but it's the satisfaction of helping the environment that makes it worthwhile.

 

do beer bottles get recycled? because if they do come to my garbage everyday you might be a millionaire soon .

 

very good job ethan, you make the world safe and clean with all the rubbish. Just imagine if all the rubbish is not cleaned from our lovely earth. This earth will be end.

 

That's a really good habit. We try to do that too
