Does anyone know where I can recycle aluminum cans for cash in Montana or northern Idaho or Spokane? It doesn’t matter much where, although closer to Pburg is handier, because I drive around a lot. I have a local place I can recycle them for no pay, but it would be nice to cash them in for a little bit of gas or fun money.
Recycling for cash is a sign that you need to upgrade your career.
Generally, recycling cans for cash is viable only in states with bottle bills–those that require a refundable deposit included in the price you pay for your drinks at the store. As far as I know, only 11 states have this, and Montana isn’t one of them.
Oh, neither does Idaho or Washington. Closest state to you that offers it is Oregon.
Interesting. I know that you could recycle aluminum for cash in Arizona even though we didn’t have a deposit.
