How to Make Money Recycling Aluminum Cans in St. Louis
Make Money Recycling Aluminum Cans. It’s Easy!
Looking to earn some extra cash while cleaning up the environment in the process? If so, you should consider recycling aluminum cans in St. Louis.
Buy Cans, Not Bottles
When buying groceries, skip the plastic and glass soda bottles and choose aluminum cans instead. In states with “Bottle Bills,” you can earn cash for recycling glass bottles, but focusing your efforts on recycling aluminum cans is far more efficient. Unlike glass and plastic, you can crunch aluminum cans, allowing you to stuff more of them into a bag or storage container.
Ask Friends and Family
Of course, you can also ask friends and family members if they have any empty aluminum cans they would be willing to hand over. Even if they don’t, they may set up a recycling aluminum cans bin just for you. And once the bin is full, you can collect and add the cans to your collection.
Clean Up Recreational Areas
Another idea is to collect aluminum cans by cleaning up recreational areas like stadium parking lots, music festivals, sports arenas, parks, etc. There are reports of collectors earning up to $400 per cleanup session. If hundreds of thousands of sports fans are attending a game, there will inevitably be some cans scattered across the parking lot. With that said, you should contact the property owner for permission before attempting to collect cans.
Partner with Local Businesses
If you really want to take your aluminum recycling endeavors to the next level, try contacting some of the local businesses in your area to see if they are interested in doing a revenue share. You agree to collect their cans, splitting the profits you earn after recycling the aluminum. It’s a win-win for both you and the business owner.
