Maybe it depends on state, but have you ever been to a recycle buy-back center?
I live in California, and I have seen a couple but Ive never been to one.
There's this place that looks like a car from a cargo train behind the grocery store I usually go to, and it look like a buy-back center, but I'm not entirely sure.
I want to take my recyclables somewhere, but I don't really know what to do. Do these buy-back places take cardboard? Bottles? Cans from canned food, not just drink cans?

What one by my place takes is cans - although you need A LOT of cans to actually accumulate any money, as a pound of aluminum will go for about .55 cents or something like that (it fluctuates a lot, as far as the value of it goes). They also take brass and copper and things like that. Glass is generally worth NOTHING (even less than cans - way less from what I hear). I guess a lot of automechanics and people like that can make bank off of certain parts that aren't working anymore and are made out of a metal that's in high demand.
