DO u GET MONEY FOR RECYCLING?

Question

on cans, it says Me 5 cents. does that mean you get 5 cents for every can or bottle you recycle.

btw, i'm not doing it for the money, i just noticed that little sign.

Answer 1

Of course. I live in an urban area, and there are less fortunate people who supplement their income by collecting cans.

You pay the 5 cent deposit when you buy the can though, so you're just getting that money back.

Answer 2

where I live it is by the pound....... right now 75 cents per pound

Answer 3

if you live in Me. you can go to walmart and get 5 cents per can, plastic bottel and glass. you should recycle cans because some 100,000 tons will end up into a landfills  so you live in main so do make mony

Answer 4

actually yes, it does save money.. there are people here in the Philippines that doesn't  just saves money but they also earn money from it. i mean from recycled materials of course.. the people living near the dump yards they actually earns money from gathering plastics, cans and all sorts of stuffs from the garbage that we throw everyday..

Answer 5

Yes, when you take your bottles and trash with that sign on it you get however much money it says on the area where it says "Hi or Me 5cents".

you can take it to your local "dumping area", and tell them you have recyclables.

it depends on weight in some areas though.

i hope this helped you!
