People would actually bring their recycling from home to the gym for us :) an ex-boyfriend and i planned a trip to europe when i graduated from college. at the time we both worked at a gym and the number of cans and bottles that were thrown away was ridiculous (think of all the energy drinks)! we decided to collect them to have extra spending money for the trip. we told our co-workers and members about it, and within a couple months of NO extra work we'd saved about $1000.

I have no insurance and it would help my family. These services are not cheap. Thanks for the idea. Hmmm…I am thinking that I should start saving for my funeral.

I wish I thought of something similar as I'm a big environmentalist and also had a budget! Good luck! I wish I could help you out, but my state doesn't take cans for money (yet!). I wish you all the best and am so glad you're spreading this idea around!! This is such a cool idea! I wish I thought of something similar as I'm a big environmentalist and also had a budget!

OMG!!! All the possibilities of what to do ran through my head!!! Amazing idea!

My goal is at least 100,000 cans by August to pay for the bulk, though I'm still not sure how much I'm going to get per can XD You're so inspiring, good luck!
