The local recycling center does not pay very good. There has to be someone I can send them too for better profit.

  1. there probably isnt a way...and if there was a better profit to be made, someone else would probably beat you to it.

    something else you could possibly do if you are artistic or crafty is to make things out of the aluminum, if you google "recycle aluminum cans into art" you can find examples of people making all kinds of crafts, sculptures or decorations.. even free instructions of how to make them, be careful though cause cutting the cans they will probably be sharp. you could sell things online or at craft fairs or something, it probably won't pay all your bills but if you were patient and successful at it then it might help..


  2. at 60 cents  a pound, you'd need to gather 100 pounds a day just to make 300 a week, which is close to 8 bucks an hour.

    it's roughly 1 cent per can, so that's a lot of cans in one day.

    not possible to pay many bills, yet.

  3. it cant

  4. Recycling what you have already purchased will never allow you to pay all your bills, because once you have consumed some of what you bought, you will have less left than you originally purchased.  However, you might be able to contribute toward the payment of some of your bills by recycling.  And you will be helping conserve natural resources as well, which will lower the cost of goods you purchase in the future.

  5. Recycling can be a profit, if more than one person is saving cans for you. But depending on where you live, where you have to go to take your cans, the gas, etc. might not be a profit to pay bills. You might do better, to go to yard sales, spend a little money, and resale that on ebay. A lot of money can be made on Ebay.

  6. No recycling centers pay well. You could spend 15 hours a day scouring dumpsters or get a job working for 8 hours a day.
