Recycling

I recycle many things at home. I don`t do it directly for money, but it amounts to money at the end. If I use as rags an old T shirt, I will not have to buy a cloth to wash the car or to clean the floor. If I give a dress or blouse I don`t use to a friend, the friend, or another one, will give me something to wear sometime. I think it is mostly habit, as I don`t like to throw anything away if it can be useful.

We recycle for money and habit. When I was growing up (and plastic wasn't around beyond 2ltr bottles) my Mother dumpster dove for extra money by fishing out cans. I've always recycled our cans and the few I see in the parking lots but I never made as much money as my Mother did doing it. The only place that sells clothes that I'm aware of by the pound is a charity shop that when things don't sell they sell them by the lb to places overseas.

About the only thing I recycle regularly to get money from is aluminum cans. I have recycled some metal and a battery or two but don't have access to those things now. I do, however, recycle a lot by reusing or repurposing everything that I can. If I can't make money, at least I'll save it.

We recycle almost everything that we can but we don't get money for it. Most of the recycling programs pick up stuff from your alley.

I do recycle bottles from mayonaise, coffee jars, boxes from appliance items and papers from flyers from the mall. I even ask for some unused flyers if I can. :) I love recyclying papers because I use the back of it as a notepad. I always have a notepad in my bag and here at our office table. :) As to the boxes and bottles, it is a good one rather than buying plastic jars for salts, and other items that needs to be put in a container. We sell the plastic bottles and jars after some time that it had been deteriorated. Junkshops buy those plastic bottles per kilo. Tin cans from sardines and corned beef can be sold too. Recycling is nice. You get to save on buying plastic jars containers and help the environment at the same time.

Other then at my place of employment I regret to say I do not recycle. I live in an apartment complex that does not have recycle bins. There is also not a recycling center near by that I can drop off items. I've thought about recycling clothing though. I have so many clothes I no longer wear that someone else could use. I like helping the environment and the extra money would be a nice perk as well.

We recycle aluminum cans and carboard also we do recycle clothes and some scrap metal we do it for extra money.

I pay attention to the environment. I like recycling because I can not only earn extra money from it, but also I can do something good for the environment since they can be recycled. They are not a totally waste any more. In the past the glass bottles are also recycled. But here it is not available any more and I don't like it at all. Usually I will recycle the plastic bottles, newspaper, magazines etc.

I do some recycling. My pop cans for sure....I save them and donate them. If I am going to the grocery store I donate them to the boy scouts....if I am going to Walmart I donate them to Habitate for Humanity. I give my old clothes to charity too. Its nice as one comes right to the house and picks them up!

We haven't the opportunity to make money from any of our recycling, but i used to live near a clothes exchange which was great. You'd get a credit for each item you left, and could take items either then or in the future.

I do recycle and I've been doing it for a long time for a variety of different reasons. I've recycled aluminum cans for as long as I can remember because of the fact that we are able to get paid per pound of aluminum that is recycled, so that is done for the extra cash. We recycle at home because our city does provide us with recycling recepticles right at our homes. Also, we have a habit of passing on clothes that the kids and I no longer need because of the fact that they still have a lot of use left in them and it just seems like the right thing to do for me instead of throwing away clothes that are no longer needed.

my mom collect can,bottle,paper etc and she can earn from it in exchange for those recyclable thingy, by selling it to whom ever wants to buy it. it's better that way we save earth for our little action. and as for me, if have tight clothes i keep them, and if there were too many of it i give them as charity.

its my passion doing art and recycling just one of it. i often save bottles and decorate it then sell it and another thing i do to old clothes is cut it and put in in the other clothe make new design and sell it. if i have old skirt and 1 boxer shirt i just sew them to make a dress and i get 1 to 2 bucks out of it and its pretty good doing what i want while i can earn bit money out of it
