So by just carrying a bag and picking up cans and such my dad makes somewhere between 150-300$ a year for doing just about nothing. It's such a range because he stores the cans in a few boxes and when the boxes are full he takes them in to the recycling center. He crushes the cans with his sledge and saves them in the garage. It's a super easy way to make some cash and makes you feel really good for helping the environment. Now we live in a state that doesn't have a can deposit so each can is only worth 1-2cents. In a state with can deposits you could easily get 5x the amount. If your into this idea check out r/detrashed. Being frugal and enviromentally active often go hand and hand.
