Do recylcing centers pay for the things you drop off anymore?

Question

Remember when you used to get paid for recylcing tin cans? Does that still happen? And what about compost? Would people pay me for my compost?

Answer 1

mine doesn't. I just drive in, unload it and thats it.

Answer 2

It depends on your location.  Some still do, but you have to look.  Your County offices should be able to tell you if there's any in your area.

Answer 3

ya, some do, like there is place in my town where u get paid 1 dollar for a pound of can. (thats a lot cans!)

Ya, you just have to find them. They are everywhere, they are just hard to find.

Answer 4

Plastic, newspapers and tin are 1c/pound where I live.   Aluminum is 50c/pound.   16 12 oz cans in a pound.   Fewer if there is some drink left or cig. butts in the bottom.
