Answer 1

The only recyclables that you can get money for at the present is aluminum and other metals.  Plastic is not a profitable recycle stream and most communities either have to pay for plastic recycling or get pennies on the ton.  The reference is a page for companies in Charlotte, NC.  The reason your friend in CA was getting paid, was in CA you pay a deposit on all plastic and cans when you buy them.  You aren't getting paid.  You are getting your money back.  There is no deposit in NC.
