Question by Stephanie: What can I bring to recycle at a recycling center?
I am looking to recycle cans and bottles for money (5-10 cents). I just wasn’t sure what was considered a bottle. I have an empty milk container (big plastic one) and an empty orange juice container. I also have an empty laundry detergent bottle. If these are rinsed out can they be used?

You know, I have the same problem! I just do as you have, rinse them out and if they have a refund deposit I can collect they go with me to the store where I bought them and get my 5 cents back. If not I place them in the plastic recycle receptacle at the local drop box site and they go away. I am not sure how thing work where you live but you might try calling the recycle folks for help

in canada you get 10 cents for beer bottles and cans and 20 cents for wine bottles at the beer store in Ontario. A good deal for americans since the dollars are at parity.
depending on what state you live in if it says on the bottle 5 cents or 10 cents you can but you can also take plastic bottles that don’t say that to a dump and recycle them for free
