  1. If they r cans u can but i believe there r special places where u can place beer bottles to recycle. so yes!!!!!!


  2. I recycle my farts with beer bottles by popping them close to my buttocks and expelling gas into them. Safe for the environment to.

  3. It depends on where you are.  Anyplace that accepts glass will take the bottles to recycle.  If you have a deposit law, you may be able to redeem them for the deposit.

  4. Glass is easy to recycle (and welcomed) if your city has a recycling center. Which types of glass city's will recycle depends on the demand for a particular color of glass. Right now, my area has a glut of green glass and no longer accepts those for recycling. Clear and brown are okay.

  5. Here is how easy it is to recycle used bottles:

    History: You used to have to pay a deposit on a bottle of pop. When the bottle was returned for the deposit back, the bottle would be shipped back to the soda pop plant where it would be inspected for chip/breaks, washed, sterilized, and re-used to hold pop again. The only thing that got thrown away was the cap. Well the cap didn't always get thrown away. There were so many clever uses for them.

    Now: the bottle is broken into such small pieces they can be considered powder. this powder is melted to make new bottles.

    The reason why most people don't recycle bottles now is simply because in a lot of places it's easier for them to just throw them away.

    Think of this: if a US-wide law were passed requiring a deposit be paid of 5 cents on all can, glass bottles and plastic bottles how many kids would go out collecting them and returning them to the store? That's the way it used to be.

    Economy 101: as a kid, I used to be able to collect 20 bottles from around town, and sell them to the grocery store. I would then head to the pool, and pay $1 to get in, and buy a pop, and a candy bar with my remaining dollar. Now: a kid must collect 50-200 cans depending on the price of cans, then travel to the edge of town, often on an unsafe road for kids to be on to get that $2. Once done they might as well just go back home, and wish they were at the pool, because thay aren't getting in on just $2.

    Now why do we see so many bottles and cans littering up our sidewalks, streets, and ditches? Well tell me this: if your pay at your current job were cut in half or down to a quarter of what it is now would you continue working there? Those deposits were the children's pay for keeping our country clean.

    Having a deposit on bottles and cans  simply means that you either agree to return the bottle or can, or pay that deposit to someone else to pick up that bottle or can and return it for you. That someone else is normally the kids.

  6. not in my town..they go in the trash..they tried recycling them but prices were so low they lost money on the deal and quit

  7. Every city I have lived in has recycle centers that take beer bottles. But I'm sure there are many places that don't. In fact, in some states they give you 5 or 10 cents per bottle.
