Well, I know one good honest way recycle, My Husband does this to get extra money, We have a recycling place right down the street from us, you would be surprise what you get for recylcing things. My Husband made over $200.00 by doing this. He knows a lot of people,nice people, well He has a friend that fixes Computers, he had a lot of computer in his basement, so My husband picked them up for him.He had a truck load full of Old computers and he made $200.00 I thought that was very good. You can recycle lots of things. I saw this one lady bringing in about 3 Bags of Cans, I don't think she nearly good as much. Someone came in and brought 2 Mope heads Bikes, they both worked and they gave him about $10 each, and they both worked,People really don't realize how much Steel and Copper and whatever, is worth Money. if you are Cleaning out your Attic or Basement you probaly can get money for the stuff you don't want, you know it could be valuable. Ok, I just though I would share this with you. hey times are hard! have a good weekend!

When I could still drive I did all that kind of recycling too. The last farm we had I redid the inside of the barn using money I saved from recycling soda cans. I had a truck then, and I had everybody saving them lol. (And then this huge truck dropped a whooooooooooole bunch off it's bed into the ditch...normally I would have gotten upset because the tin can mess went a good half mile or so up the road, but I knew I could get some serious coin from it hahaha) It's a little harder now that I can't drive, plus not having a truck makes it harder too. Good for you and hubby, recycling not only helps our environment, but puts some extra money into the pockets. Most people don't realize how much you can get by doing all that :-)

My mom collects cans and recycles them. I see people in trucks that go around collecting stuff to take to the recycle place, they can make some good money that way. Thats great that your hubby got $200, not too shabby.

I also recycle things. I also keep all the plastic bottles and even the soy sauce and vinegar bottle and bottle cap. I also ask my neighbor and cousin to put all their used bottles that they will not use so I can sell it to junk shop near in our subdivision. We can make money by recycled things and its also economical friendly because recycling can also help to clean our place.
