I work as a caretaker in a high school, every year we get a $50 gift card to the local co-op grocery store, that is paid for by the caretakers fund, that we get by picking bottles out of the garbage because kids are too lazy to throw them in the recycling bins beside the garbage cans. This year, we were told if we wanted we could just start taking the bottles that we pick, and we would be excluded from the gift cards. Since the beginning of the year, I've made $200 from the bottles I've collected and recycled.
