Posts Tagged ‘aluminum cans’

I am not a green freek, but I am in college and need extra money to pay tuition and also support my hobbies at the same time. There is a recyceling place in town that pays you for aluminum cans.

I have already bought environmentally friends AC units and other things for the home, I recycle newspapers, clear glass bottles and aluminum cans. Those things are recycled in my area.

As a home owner I tend to look at the price tag and also ways to save money. I even tend to buy degradable trans-bags to help the garbage in my area since the bags I have used will take 1,000 of years to degrade due to the plastic used.

I make sure the lights are off when I leave and I have the temperature at a setting I can handle. What else can I do to save money and the environment at the same time. Am I missing something?
We currently don’t have a recycling company to pick up anything but clear plastic at this time.
