Hurry up Spring!

nothing wrong with that I would go around town ever day when i was in the us collect cans every week i would make about 200 dollars about 5 big black trash bags full I would take it in every week on a Friday had my party money for the week end

Collecting bottles and cans for money? A good part-time job huh. I admire that you could make money with ur bare hands, for me, maybe I'm not that brave to do so. Anyway, I am looking forward to the summer coming, so I can wear light and be energetic all day. Now this is Spring here, so summer will come soon~~~~

I want spring to hurry up as well because I am completely sick of winter and tired of being cold. I too have walked around looking for returnable bottles and cans but I haven't found anywhere near the amount that you have. That sounds like a pretty good little side business if you ask me.

For us, we don't have deposits on glass bottles so there really isn't all that much in that for me. I tend to put all of our empty bottles into the recycle bin that the city picks up at our house on a weekly basis. However, I do try to save our aluminum cans because the payment per pound of aluminum is actually pretty good right now and that is something that is worth it to me. You know, I'm sure that there are times that you've found other very interesting things in the ditches as well, in addition to the bottles that you are looking for.

wow, not a thing wrong with that. I assume you are waiting for the snow to go away there.

That's really great that you are not ashamed of something like picking up garbage. My family used to buy bottles,cans,plastic bottles, aluminum and copper and most of them came from garbage. It really gave us a good income and I help them by asking my friends to give me their empty bottles,they laughed at me for collecting garbage at work but I just laugh with them and joke about getting rich.

wow, that is a tidy sum. i would be doing the same thing as you if i could. we do that occasionally but never with the success you have had.

I did wonder what this was til i read your whole conversation. I'mg lad you make a lot of money from doing this. Tho i think with cans you would make more because most bottles say on them 5 cents refund so i'd say turning them in you only get 5 cents per bottle. Al tho my hubby and collected like nearly 10 giant sized garbage bags of cans and only got $80 so maybe the bottles do make more money. I just thought the cans made more is all. Well glad spring is almost here and you can ditch dive again. Hope you make a lot of money this spring as well. I live near a bar but it is in like a strip mall and no bottles are ever outside. Tho i can go through my neighborhood and see about collecting cans and bottles off the street. Thanks for the idea of bottle collecting.

That's a great way to earn money... as if we had places like that near where I live. But I really want spring to come to be able to go for walks more often without freezing my butt off.
