Unfortunately, it cost more to recycle plastic then it does to make new plastic.  As such, recyclers do not pay you to bring them plastic.  However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't recycle it.

Scrap metal is cheaper to recycle then to produce new, therefore there is more demand for it and they pay you for it.

Earth911.org is a good place to find a recycling center near you.  You can always call your local center and ask any specific questions you might have.
