Recycle for Money

i heard about when you used to be able to recycle your glass bottles by giving it to the corner shop and you would either get money or a discount off somthing you buy in there. there are also recycling centres were you can recyle alliminyum for cash. but what about plastic bottles im sure theres alot of carbon dioxide behind the making of plastic bottles and i understand not all plastics can be recycled but im sure plastic bottles can be the bottles from coke pepsi etc. As youths are mostly the people who create litter cant they start a scheme for as youths in the uk to recycle for money it would be keeping the streets clean, help stopping global warming and earn us sum cash. and for alliminyam cans cant we recylce them at a shop or somthing as im sure recycling centres are realy far. i thought this would be a great idea for youths what do you think ?

yes this is a great idea! i think it would keep the streets clean and give the youth something to do (my daughters [ages 11 & 15] are so bored and cannot wait til school starts [in 2 weeks] and this would keep them busy as well as give them something to do.

They used to give cash for recycling bottles etc here in Ireland years ago but it all seems to have stopped now. I do think that it is a good idea as every one likes money especially when its free money. It would be a good deterent to littering as more people would hold onto their rubbish if means getting some cash.
