How much have you guys made from recycling plastic bottles so far?

:-)

I didn't even bother collecting them! 🙂

Around $3.75. ☕

They aren't even collecting them anymore

That isn't really a profit; it’s more like just getting back what you already put in.

Real profit comes from scavenging through other people's trash.😁

$6.75 and it's all because of some gambling bet

I'm from the States🙂and I've managed to pull in maybe $167, though I haven't tallied it all up—it might actually be more. I'm still stacking my gains🙂and was even thinking about picking up a new laptop. I might just

A year ago, I had over two thousand bottles sitting there—I've been collecting them for years—but I just kept putting off dropping them off. I kept saying "I'll do it tomorrow" until my old man finally lost his patience and told me they weren't even worth the hassle anymore.

Paid off two-thirds of the laptop😁

What kind of percentage are we even talking about? In the middle of a summer slump like this...

I usually just gather them up and leave them by the bins so the seniors in my neighborhood don't have to dig through the trash looking for them. It's not like I'd get much out of it anyway—maybe 3-$1.25 a month. I'm not really a big juice drinker. It's just sad seeing some people practically rely on finding stuff like that to get by.

Ever since I started collecting those bottles...

Honestly, I’d probably only grab maybe 3--$1.25 a month since I'm not much of a soda drinker. (And it breaks my heart because some people actually rely on that stuff to get by...).

That's really kind of you👍
as for me, $0.00

I don't go around collecting them... usually, if I'm out and about and some stranger notices I've got a bottle on me, they might ask for one. If they do, I'll give it to them, I guess.

The absolute most cash I ever had on me all at once was maybe twenty bucks, if I recall correctly.
