Question

I would like to know how much bottles, cans and paper is worth when recycled ?

Answer 1

Glass and paper about 1c/pound in WA.    Aluminum around 65c/pound.

Answer 2

Depends on the state you live in.

Answer 3

Call around. The biggest bang for your buck is aluminum by far. But, if you live in a state that requires a deposit on bottles, then collecting bottles and taking them in is good. Paper gets you the least money. Some places are recycling plastics, now.  Because of big time industrialization, copper is through the roof, by the way.
