If you need a little extra cash, recycling might be the answer. I started to recycle at rePlanet and I learned that you can recycle more than just your basic recyclables with a redemption value on it. I started to recycle shampoo bottles and laundry bottles; everything with a recycle 2 sign on it. There are many rePlanet facilities around. You can go to http://replanetusa.com to find your nearest location. You can do the weight by pound option or recycle each item by hand. The Recycling centers are conveniently located within a half mile away from a supermarket.
There is also an option to sign up for rePlanet's email list to receive recycle coupons. Yes, this is advanced Pro Recycling! How the coupons work is you will receive a higher value for your recyclables. At different times of the year rePlanet holds a contest and they do fundraising as well. Happy Recycling!
