Someone mentioned this earlier, and if you're a sole supporter of 5 this amount might not seem like a lot, but I started dropping off all my cans at the bottle drop center and it adds up more than you think. Granted I live in Oregon where the return on each can is 10 cents and I have my parents and inlaws giving me their cans, but I just only make drop offs when I'm going to run an errand or already going past it, so I'm really not investing any extra time in it. I calculated it out and at the current rate I make drop offs, I'm making an extra $750 a year, which I understand may not seem like a lot with multiple kids.
