Something everyone can do for a bit of cash, get some fresh air and enjoy a wandering adventure in your environment. You would be contributing to saving your shared environment for new generations. The cash is an incentive; health and a warm feeling are the reward. Kids learn valuable life lessons while collecting bottles for coin.
Buy a Reach Expander grabber thing & take a walk or roll (*electric or manual powered devices only) down any accessible trail your community has. Plan a route that goes past a place to return bottles, or perhaps several places that return bottles along the excursion. Many folks in urban environments tend to pass through these areas and stop along taking a drink from a plastic bottle. When that bottle is empty, most persons will simply abandon it either at the rest stop or in the nearest garbage container. Spot these non-hidden tresures and pick them up with your grabber. On many powered devices, a basket is provided. This basket can hold a few bottles, the larger the better. Carry a basket on your lap in a chair.
How much money can you make on an excursion? Well, do the math. 500ml to 1L is 5 cents. Above 1L is 10 cents. This includes alcoholic containers. Most beverage packaging (*excluding dairy products) can be returned at places that sell the the product. Many smaller places have a daily limit on returns, rarely will they excced that limit.
