recycling


Question Posted Sunday August 23 2009, 1:23 am

Hi, I live in New Jersey.
I heard that in Michigan, for every bottle you recycle its a 10c refund. Considering Michigan is over 9 hours away from New Jersey, is it possible to ship out the bottles and get money shipped back to me? Thanks! How would I even begin doing that?

Even if you could, it would probably end up costing you way more in shipping fees than you'd make!

I did a quick calculation with a box a little bigger than a case of beer (because you'd need to allow for wrapping) and a 10 lb weight. (so about 40 bottles). Just to ship between Trenton and Detroit (again, picked at random) by regular mail would cost you $11. This doesn't include wrapping materials, either.

What would you make from the bottle sales? $4.00.

There are much better and less time consuming ways to make some extra cash!
