In some states like New york and Cali they will pay you for plastic bottles but the majority of the US doesn't even take them but they do take cans in the other states, the way so many plastic bottles end up in our environment and in rivers I wish someone would make a law that not more than 25 of drinks can be put in plastic bottles and the other 75 would be aluminum because the cans are way more likely to be recycledAnd in addition to that way more states should start doing the deposit thing like Michigan and New York doesjust my thoughts

The Reverse Vending Machine system available world wide might help the homeless get more out of thier pickings We really need people to help clear the Cities of these kinds of trashpaper,plastic,glass,cans

I raid street bins daily for deposit containers I am not in the States, but no one has ever told me that it is illegal, where I am, outside of the USA The word I have, strictly unofficial, is that the local municipality, and the given collection contractor[s], won't whizz on the recycling aspect of it Once or twice I've crossed paths with the collection contractors, and they're a bit queezy me raiding the back of their compactor, but otherwise in no way pissed with me raiding ' their ' bins One of them even gave me a generic bin key, on the wink-wink basis, but which I never need coz I've got the knack to unlocking and locking the bins

When is the best time to look for bottles on the streets? Like the morning? Monday mornings? Lol
Comment from : Jonathan Ramirez

At least hes not standing there on a corner with a sign asking for your hard earn money who knows he might be able limited to certain working disabilites and due to previous record it would be hard to land a good paying job , that you could afford rent in California

FUCK EYE FEEL LIKE GIVING HIM ALL IVE GOT HES SUCH AH POSITIVE GUY
Comment from : SHAUN DJ FISH BEATS MARTIN [SDFBM]

I would just let the homeless people take the cans because it’s better than them robbing houses, graffiti, or hurting people it’s a good pathway
Comment from : Rick’s Diecast

This guy is such a hard worker I hope an employer who can use an employee with that kind of dedication and perseverance sees this story and gives this guy a chance at a better paying job If he's willing to work this hard for $15, imagine how he'd apply himself for $50 Seems like a win-win proposition Wish him, his partner, and their dog all the best

What The hell is this? Having a pet isn't cheap Those cigarettes he's smoking cost $8 a pack On his budget that will buy two meals--- far more important than the idiocy of smoking cigarettes I don't believe in addiction You make a choice to smoke or drink No one is shoving those cigarettes in his mouth He is :( I've got something better he can shove in his mouth and it won''t give him lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, emphysema :) No poor person should be smoking Economically it doesn't make sense And it sure doesn't make sense health wise

What happens to these recyclable programs now that China is refusing to take our plastic and other recyclables How will this affect the fragile homeless economy? Our local Ralph closed down it recycling center a few months ago

Comment from : JMWay2Funky

Got no problem with a homeless guy making money off bottles and cans They got live too I'm always giving can to people that ain't got anything Usually if there down on luck they well take them Had one guy come back thank me for giving him 20 dollars in can one day

I live in LA, and stopped recycling my cans and bottles I dump them in the public areas, like the trash outside the grocery store The cans are ALWAYS picked up by someone who can benefit from them We should rather thank them for reducing the environmental burden that not recycling can cause Help a neighbor in creative ways!

Sorry, I don't get it Willing to work 10-14 hours a day, but satisfied with $40 Living in a tent, no mention of what wife does, SLOWLY gets around with a dog, one hand on a cart and not riding the bike Pathetic! Sad, but pathetic! Not a lot of effort going on there, especially between his ears There are jobs out there that pay considerably more than the less than $5 an hour he is making, even for unskilled workers There are so many jobs here, people are living in tents too, as housing is a problem, but Wendy's pays $14 with heath benefits after 32 hours and construction workers $50, as I was recently told, as there are not enough workers Too poor to go anywhere? Sticking out a thumb costs nothing
Comment from : Mark Daddario

California Government should systems of recycling jobs to give out who are citizens and homelessness,not blame on them,shame on yourselves!
Comment from : latteboyssmile

While reporting on this story in both New York and Los Angeles, we noticed that for many people living on the streets, collecting and redeeming recyclables is the go-to method of earning some cash Have you ever thought about making money from your recyclable bottles and cans?
