To popularize waste recycling, you are forced to pay 1-3 rubles more for each can or bottle, but this money can be returned by bringing empty containers to the waste collection point. But, if, along with the already paid ones, you bring bottles and cans found in public places, then you can get a good profit.

Steps

1. 1 Make sure you keep all bottles for return.
2. 2 Walk to the nearest park and look in and around the trash cans.
3. 3 Check all bottles for a special cent mark. For example, if you live in California, the label will have badges such as "CA CRV; HI, ME 5". They mean that such bottles can be returned and paid. In the US, CA is California, HI is Hawaii, ME is Maine. Some supermarkets in the listed states will pay you for these bottles. Also, for example, in the Netherlands, in the supermarket chain Albert Heijn, all plastic bottles (from under water or soft drinks) can be returned and received a reward. There you will also get a refund of the deposit for beer bottles if you bring them back. I'm not 100% sure, but I think there is a similar system in Norway too.
   • In the above and other states, you will find recycling points where only aluminum cans, or only waste paper, or metal and glass by weight can be returned. But before you go there, find out under what conditions they accept waste.
4. 4 If you bring material for processing on your machine, and payment is made based on the weight of the collected waste, then be very careful when weighing on a special scale. You can lose a lot in weight of waste, and therefore in money, if you get out of the car during the initial weighing, and remain in it after unloading again. In this case, you will lose your own weight. As you can see, there are many nuances in this matter. You can also make good money by handing over aluminum cans for recycling.

Tips

• In some places, in the state of Hawaii, for example, you need to remove the caps from plastic bottles before handing over.
• Waste can be taken by weight or by quantity. The most effective way to maximize your profit depends on your personal decision, whether you are going to donate glass or plastic, and how much waste you have to donate.
• Buy or order a special waste collection device. It will make your waste collection process more hygienic and make you look more professional.

Warnings

• Some people use empty beverage cans as a trash can and put cigarette butts or candy wrappers in it. Therefore, check all jars and throw away the trash from them before handing over.
• Beware of spiders, ants, beetles, slugs, snails, bees and wasps, which are very fond of cans / bottles of sweets and drinks.
• When looking into trash cans, beware of flies and fumes that come from them.
• When you collect waste to make money, some people (especially teenagers) may call you homeless, homeless, or other nasty words. If this happens, try to resist and not use physical force on the offender, try to calmly continue to collect waste in another place.
• Be sure to wash your hands after you're done.
