Is there anywhere on the internet where people buy glass bottles, or plastic bottles for recycling?

Question

I was wanting to get some cash for recycling.

Answer 1

Actually in Michigan and Maine-you get a nickel per bottle in gas stations-because people pay a nickel as a deposit on the bottles..Says it right on there..Check it out!!!

Answer 2

Certain state's rates are actually listed on aluminum cans, as others said, but plastics don't exactly work the same way.  Anywhere in Lancaster, PA if that is your question I can help you with rules on what is recycleable.  Plastics #1, #2 only in PA, and the container must be smaller at the opening than the base, for example you cannot recycle a butter spread dish, but you can recycle jar shapes where the mouth is smaller than the bottom, like a mayonaise container.

I am lacking on a location for you to bring your plastics, the disposal services take all the plastic themselves from curbside and the make the money, so you have a very good idea.  Find out where they sell their curbside plastic after pickup.

Answer 3

Many grocery stores have recycling centers where they buy stuff back from you to recycle.  Like 5 cents a bottle.

Answer 4

Good luck there.  Its not about money.
