Same here! We can recycle aluminum pop cans for money, but everything else goes into recycling.

It's interesting to read that some states give refunds on bottles. How many of you remember when we used to buy pop (or soda, depending on what part of the country you live in) when we had pay a deposit for the bottle and then would get it back when we returned the bottle? Maybe that wasn't such a bad idea.
when I was little there used to be an old man who rode around on a bike collecting cans and bottles. He was even ballsy enough to take them out of peoples cars. Everyone around town thought he was in bad shape financially.
Well when he died they found Millions hidden in his house.
