More places buy me are buying glass bottles!

Glass bottles whole 4 places now. Got to see what prices the new ones are paying. Place I have ben going is .03-.04 a pound

Other items
#1 plastic bottles 5 places now. Prices .30 - .45 lb
#2 plastic clear 2 places now. .08 -.10 lb
#2 plastic color 2 places now. .02 lb
Cardboard .02 lb

And these places are the ones paying alot for aluminium cans from .80 - .95 lb! So if you are going to take down cans anyway you might as well take the glass, plastic and cardboard!

I've been known to dumpster dive for canning jars.

the place that takes my beer bottles , got screwed over when they accepted broken glass. people were mixing in plate glass, and tv screens. hence, they stopped taking broken glass. which sucked for me. a truck full is now 500 lbs. instead of 2000

I had been taking the cans to egs as they have the highest price, with no minimum weight. last month I had saved up cans for 6 weeks to get 122 lbs. which took up the whole truck , so I lost 6.00 by taking them to normas..
