I frequent the recycling center and cash in all of the paper from my work as well as cans I find along the way. I'd like your thoughts on the profitability of recycling. In what ways do any of you maximize your profit?

We recycle through our city but we do not get paid for it. I think it is a hassle and take alot of room to recycle and I am not sure how much money I would make. I think it would make more of a mess and be more of a hassle to do. I do believe in recycling is good for the environment and we are going to keep doing it were just mot going to get paid for it.

I recycle n get maybe $10 every couple weeks from aluminum. If I would think about it I should ask my sil at her next party if she recycles. Maybe I could take hers in too.

recycling helps a lot around the house, we usually recycle every 8 months and we collect so many cans at the end. dozens and dozens of plastic bags lay around the backyard. We recycle aluminum cans, plastic, and glass. We don't recycle paper though, but we buy recycled paper.

my sister had won with her co - teachers a second placer on an investigatory project, national level - teacher category. their project was all about paper recycling to make a paper charcoal. first, they dripped the papers into the water with high amount in a container until it became very wet and well - rotten. then form it as a ball and drip it to dry. let it dry thoroughly under the sun. that time you can use it as for cooking as a replacement for the wood charcoal. so that's it. recycling is very much appreciative nowadays and will help lessen the pollution scattered in the surroundings. if you do recycling, you are helping the earth from total destruction. thank you
