Recylcing beverage bottles/cans for cash...?

July 7, 2008 10:46pm CST
I live in Savannah Ga and right now they are 70c a pound. And does your state pay for plastic bottles? #2? I know that some states take money for certain beverage drinks, that Ga does not. I think Michigan is a main one. One day I want to pack down a pick up truck with nothing but those empty beverage bottles and go all the way to michigan to cash them in! Then use the money for gas on the way back! Anyone ever done anything like this? How much money did you get and what did you do with it?

The only recyclable stuff that I bring in for cash is aluminum cans. The last time I took them in for my son( he crushes them he gets the money) he ended up with $46 and some change. They were paying around 80 cents a pound then. I recycle other stuff but I do not bring it in for cash.
